Even when I remember I am troubled, and horror taketh hold on my flesh.

Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

(ERV)

15
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
(ERV)
Job
21

16
Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
(ERV)
Job
21
:
17
How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out? that their calamity cometh upon them? that God distributeth sorrows in his anger?
(ERV)

21
:
18
That they are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away?
(ERV)

19
Ye say, God layeth up his iniquity for his children. Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it.

Let his own eyes see his destruction, and let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
(ERV)

:
23
One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet:
(ERV)
Job
21
:
24
His breasts are full of milk, and the marrow of his bones is moistened.
(ERV)

21
:
25
And another dieth in bitterness of soul, and never tasteth of good.

:
26
They lie down alike in the dust, and the worm covereth them.

Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.

Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens?
(ERV)
Job
21
:
30
That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? that they are led forth to the day of wrath?
(ERV)
Job
21
:
31
Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
(ERV)
Job
21
:
32
Yet shall he be borne to the grave, and shall keep watch over the tomb.
(ERV)

21
:
33
The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and all men shall draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.

How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth only falsehood?
