Job 21:1-11 ▼

1 And Job will answer and say,

2 Hearing, hear ye my speech, and this shall be your consolations.

3 Suffer me and I will speak; and after my word ye will mock.

4 I, is my complaint to man? and then wherefore shall not my spirit be shortened?

5 Look to me and be astonished, and put the hand upon the mouth.

6 And when I remembered and trembled, and horror took hold of my flesh.

7 Wherefore shall the unjust live? They grew old, also they were strong in power.

8 Their seed was established before their face with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

9 Their houses peace from fear, and the rod of God not upon them.

10 His ox passed over and will not be cast away: his heifer will escape and will not be barren.

11 They will send forth their children as a flock, and their children will leap.
