21:1 But Job 347 answered 6030 8799 and said 559 8799,

21:2 Hear 8085 8798 diligently 8085 8800 my speech 4405, and let this be your consolations 8575.

21:3 Suffer 5375 8798 me that I may speak 1696 8762; and after 310 that I have spoken 1696 8763, mock on 3932 8686.

21:4 As for me, [is] my complaint 7879 to man 120? and if [it were so], why should not my spirit 7307 be troubled 7114 8799?(troubled: Heb. shortened?)

21:5 Mark 6437 8798 me, and be astonished 8074 8713, and lay 7760 8798 [your] hand 3027 upon [your] mouth 6310.(Mark…: Heb. Look unto me)

21:6 Even when I remember 2142 8804 I am afraid 926 8738, and trembling 6427 taketh hold on 270 8804 my flesh 1320.

21:7 Wherefore do the wicked 7563 live 2421 8799, become old 6275 8804, yea, are mighty 1396 8804 in power 2428?

21:8 Their seed 2233 is established 3559 8737 in their sight 6440 with them, and their offspring 6631 before their eyes 5869.

21:9 Their houses 1004 [are] safe 7965 from fear 6343, neither [is] the rod 7626 of God 433 upon them.(safe…: Heb. peace from)

21:10 Their bull 7794 gendereth 5674 8765, and faileth 1602 8686 not; their cow 6510 calveth 6403 8762, and casteth not her calf 7921 8762.

21:11 They send forth 7971 8762 their little ones 5759 like a flock 6629, and their children 3206 dance 7540 8762.

21:12 They take 5375 8799 the timbrel 8596 and harp 3658, and rejoice 8055 8799 at the sound 6963 of the organ 5748.

21:13 They spend 3615 8762 8675 1086 8762 their days 3117 in wealth 2896, and in a moment 7281 go down 2865 8735 8676 5181 8799 to the grave 7585.(in wealth: or, in mirth)

21:14 Therefore they say 559 8799 unto God 410, Depart 5493 8798 from us; for we desire 2654 8804 not the knowledge 1847 of thy ways 1870.

21:15 What [is] the Almighty 7706, that we should serve 5647 8799 him? and what profit 3276 8686 should we have, if we pray 6293 8799 unto him?

21:16 Lo, their good 2898 [is] not in their hand 3027: the counsel 6098 of the wicked 7563 is far 7368 8804 from me.

21:17 How oft is the candle 5216 of the wicked 7563 put out 1846 8799! and [how oft] cometh 935 8799 their destruction 343 upon them! [God] distributeth 2505 8762 sorrows 2256 in his anger 639.(candle: or, lamp)

21:18 They are as stubble 8401 before 6440 the wind 7307, and as chaff 4671 that the storm 5492 carrieth away 1589 8804.(carrieth: Heb. stealeth)

21:19 God 433 layeth up 6845 8799 his iniquity 205 for his children 1121: he rewardeth 7999 8762 him, and he shall know 3045 8799 [it].(his iniquity: that is, the punishment of his iniquity)

21:20 His eyes 5869 shall see 7200 8799 his destruction 3589, and he shall drink 8354 8799 of the wrath 2534 of the Almighty 7706.

21:21 For what pleasure 2656 [hath] he in his house 1004 after 310 him, when the number 4557 of his months 2320 is cut off in the midst 2686 8795?

21:22 Shall [any] teach 3925 8762 God 410 knowledge 1847? seeing he judgeth 8199 8799 those that are high 7311 8802.

21:23 One dieth 4191 8799 in his full 8537 strength 6106, being wholly at ease 7946 and quiet 7961.(his…: Heb. his very, or, the strength of, his perfection)

21:24 His breasts 5845 are full 4390 8804 of milk 2461, and his bones 6106 are moistened 8248 8792 with marrow 4221.(breasts: or, milk pails)

21:25 And another dieth 4191 8799 in the bitterness 4751 of his soul 5315, and never eateth 398 8804 with pleasure 2896.

21:26 They shall lie down 7901 8799 alike 3162 in the dust 6083, and the worms 7415 shall cover 3680 8762 them.

21:27 Behold, I know 3045 8804 your thoughts 4284, and the devices 4209 [which] ye wrongfully imagine 2554 8799 against me.

21:28 For ye say 559 8799, Where [is] the house 1004 of the prince 5081? and where [are] the dwelling 4908 places 168 of the wicked 7563?(the dwelling…: Heb. the tent of the tabernacles)

21:29 Have ye not asked 7592 8804 them that go 5674 8802 by the way 1870? and do ye not know 5234 8762 their tokens 226,

21:30 That the wicked 7451 is reserved 2820 8735 to the day 3117 of destruction 343? they shall be brought forth 2986 8714 to the day 3117 of wrath 5678.(wrath: Heb. wraths)

21:31 Who shall declare 5046 8686 his way 1870 to his face 6440? and who shall repay 7999 8762 him [what] he hath done 6213 8804?

21:32 Yet shall he be brought 2986 8714 to the grave 6913, and shall remain 8245 8799 in the tomb 1430.(grave: Heb. graves)(remain…: Heb. watch in the heap)

21:33 The clods 7263 of the valley 5158 shall be sweet 4985 8804 unto him, and every man 120 shall draw 4900 8799 after 310 him, as [there are] innumerable 4557 before 6440 him.

21:34 How then comfort 5162 8762 ye me in vain 1892, seeing in your answers 8666 there remaineth 7604 8738 falsehood 4604?(falsehood: Heb. transgression?)
