JOB 21:1  Then Job answered, and said:

JOB 21:2  Hear, I beseech you, my words, and do penance.

JOB 21:3  Suffer me, and I will speak, and after, if you please, laugh at my words.

JOB 21:4  Is my debate against man, that I should not have just reason to be troubled?

JOB 21:5  Hearken to me and be astonished, and lay your finger on your mouth.

JOB 21:6  As for me, when I remember, I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.

JOB 21:7  Why then do the wicked live, are they advanced, and strengthened with riches?

JOB 21:8  Their seed continueth before them, a multitude of kinsmen, and of children’s children in their sight.

JOB 21:9  Their houses are secure and peaceable, and the rod of God is not upon them.

JOB 21:10  Their cattle have conceived, and failed not: their cow has calved, and is not deprived of her fruit.

JOB 21:11  Their little ones go out like a flock, and their children dance and play.

JOB 21:12  They take the timbrel, and the harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.

JOB 21:13  They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment they go down to hell.

JOB 21:14  Who have said to God: Depart from us, we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

JOB 21:15  Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what doth it profit us if we pray to him?

JOB 21:16  Yet because their good things are not in their hand, may the counsel of the wicked be far from me.

JOB 21:17  How often shall the lamp of the wicked be put out, and a deluge come upon them, and he shall distribute the sorrows of his wrath?

JOB 21:18  They shall be as chaff before the face of the wind, and as ashes which the whirlwind scattereth.

JOB 21:19  God shall lay up the sorrow of the father for his children: and when he shall repay, then shall he know.

JOB 21:20  His eyes shall see his own destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

JOB 21:21  For what is it to him what befalleth his house after him: and if the number of his months be diminished by one half?

JOB 21:22  Shall any one teach God knowledge, who judgeth those that are high?

JOB 21:23  One man dieth strong, and hale, rich and happy.

JOB 21:24  His bowels are full of fat, and his bones are moistened with marrow.

JOB 21:25  But another dieth in bitterness of soul without any riches:

JOB 21:26  And yet they shall sleep together in the dust, and worms shall cover them.

JOB 21:27  Surely I know your thoughts, and your unjust judgments against me.

JOB 21:28  For you say: Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?

JOB 21:29  Ask any one of them that go by the way, and you shall perceive that he knoweth these same things.

JOB 21:30  Because the wicked man is reserved to the day of destruction, and he shall be brought to the day of wrath.

JOB 21:31  Who shall reprove his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?

JOB 21:32  He shall be brought to the graves, and shall watch in the heap of the dead.

JOB 21:33  He hath been acceptable to the gravel of Cocytus, and he shall draw every man after him, and there are innumerable before him.

JOB 21:34  How then do ye comfort me in vain, whereas your answer is shewn to be repugnant to truth?
