{Job 21:1} But Job answered and said, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:2} Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:3} Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:4} As for me, [is] my complaint to man? and if [it were so,] why should not my spirit be troubled? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:5} Mark me, and be astonished, and lay [your] hand upon [your] mouth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:6} Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:7} Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:8} Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:9} Their houses [are] safe from fear, neither [is] the rod of God upon them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:10} Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:11} They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:12} They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:13} They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:14} Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:15} What [is] the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:16} Lo, their good [is] not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:17} How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and [how oft] cometh their destruction upon them! [God] distributeth sorrows in his anger. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:18} They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:19} God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know [it. ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:20} His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:21} For what pleasure [hath] he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:22} Shall [any] teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:23} One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:24} His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:25} And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:26} They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:27} Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices [which] ye wrongfully imagine against me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:28} For ye say, Where [is] the house of the prince? and where [are] the dwelling places of the wicked? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:29} Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:30} That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:31} Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him [what] he hath done? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:32} Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:33} The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as [there are] innumerable before him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 21:34} How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?
