Job 21:7-15 ▼

7 Why do the wicked live? They have become old, || Indeed, they have been mighty in wealth.

8 Their seed is established, || Before their face with them, || And their offspring before their eyes.

9 Their houses [are] peace without fear, || Nor [is] a rod of God on them.

10 His bullock breeds without fail. His cow brings forth safely, and does not miscarry.

11 They send forth their sucklings as a flock, || And their children skip,

12 They lift [themselves] up at timbrel and harp, || And rejoice at the sound of a pipe.

13 They wear out their days in good, || And in a moment go down [to] Sheol.

14 And they say to God, Turn aside from us, || And the knowledge of Your ways || We have not desired.

15 What [is] the Mighty One that we serve Him? And what do we profit when we meet with Him?
