Job 21:16-20

View Full Chapter

16But their prosperity is not in their own hands, so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.

17“Yet how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out? How often does calamity come upon them, the fate God allots in his anger?

18How often are they like straw before the wind, like chaff swept away by a gale?

19It is said, ‘God stores up the punishment of the wicked for their children.’ Let him repay the wicked, so that they themselves will experience it!

20Let their own eyes see their destruction; let them drink the cup of the wrath of the Almighty.
