Job 21
21:1And undertaking, Job says,
21:2Hear, hear my words! that there should be to me this comfort from you.
21:3Lift me! and I will speak, then you shall not ridicule me.
21:4For what, is my rebuke from man? or why shall I not be enraged?
21:5O ones looking at me, wonder while putting your hand upon your jaw.
21:6For even if I should remember, I hurry, and griefs hold the things of my flesh.
21:7Why do the impious live, and they grow old, and in riches?
21:8Their sowing is according to their soul's desire; and their children in eyes.
21:9Their houses prosper, and fear is not to them at all; and the whip of the lord is not upon them.
21:10Their ox does not bring forth prematurely, and their pregnant ones are preserved to have, and not to trip.
21:11And they remain as everlasting sheep, and their children play before them,
21:12taking up the psaltery and harp, and they are gladdened at the sound of a psalm.
21:13And they complete their existence with good things, and in the rest of Hades they go to sleep.
21:14And he says to the lord, Separate from me! I do not want to know your ways.
21:15What is fit that we shall serve him? and what benefit, that we shall meet with him?
21:16For in hands the good things were not to him; but works of the impious he does not inspect.
21:17But in fact, even the lamp of the impious shall be extinguished, and there shall come upon them the final event, and pangs from them they shall have from anger.
21:18And they will be as straw before the wind, or as a cloud of dust which the tempest took up.
21:19May his possessions fail his sons; and God shall recompense to him, and he shall know it.
21:20May his eyes behold his own slaughter; and by the lord may he not be delivered.
21:21For his will is in his house with him, and the numbers of his months were divided.
21:22Is it not the lord who is the one teaching understanding and higher knowledge? And is it not he who litigates the wise.
21:23This one shall die in the might of his singleness of purpose, but entirely enjoying pleasure and prospering;
21:24and his insides are full of fat, and his marrow is diffused in him.
21:25And another one comes to an end in bitterness of soul, not eating anything good.
21:26But in one accord upon the earth they sleep, and rottenness covers them.
21:27So as I know you, that you daringly press upon me;
21:28that you shall say, Where is the house of the ruler? and where is the protection of the tents of the impious?
21:29Ask the ones passing by the way, and you shall not separate from their signs.
21:30For unto the day of destruction the wicked one lightens; for the day of his anger he shall be taken away.
21:31Who will report unto his face his way? And what he did, who shall recompense to him?
21:32And he was carried away unto the tombs; and stayed awake upon the heaps.
21:33The gravel of the rushing stream was sweet to him, and after him every man shall go forth, and in front of him there are innumerable ones.
21:34And how do you comfort me in vain? but for me to rest from you is nothing.
