7 Why do the ungodly live, and why are the mighty in power full of years? 8 Their descendants are established in their sight with them, and their children before their eyes. 9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them. 10 Their bull breeds, and fails not; their cow calves, and does not cast her calf. 11 Their children stand firm like a flock, and their boys dance. 12 They take the timbrels and harps, and rejoice at the sound of singing. 13 They spend their days in prosperity, and then suddenly go down to Sheol. 14 They say to God, Depart from us; for we do not desire to know thy ways. 15 Moreover, they say, Who is God, that we should serve him? And what would we gain, that we should pray to him? Job 21:7-15, Lamsa Bible. Public domain.
