Job 21:7-15
New King James Version
Job 21:7-15
New King James Version
7 (A)Why do the wicked live and become old,
Yes, become mighty in power?
8 Their descendants are established with them in their sight,
And their offspring before their eyes.
9 Their houses are safe from fear,
(B)Neither is [a]the rod of God upon them.
10 Their bull breeds without failure;
Their cow calves (C)without miscarriage.
11 They send forth their little ones like a flock,
And their children dance.
12 They sing to the tambourine and harp,
And rejoice to the sound of the flute.
13 They (D)spend their days in wealth,
And [b]in a moment go down to the [c]grave.
14 (E)Yet they say to God, ‘Depart from us,
For we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.
15 (F)Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him?
And (G)what profit do we have if we pray to Him?’

7 Why do the wicked live on,
growing old and increasing in power?(A)
8 They see their children established around them,
their offspring before their eyes.(B)
9 Their homes are safe and free from fear;(C)
the rod of God is not on them.(D)
10 Their bulls never fail to breed;
their cows calve and do not miscarry.(E)
11 They send forth their children as a flock;(F)
their little ones dance about.
12 They sing to the music of timbrel and lyre;(G)
they make merry to the sound of the pipe.(H)
13 They spend their years in prosperity(I)
and go down to the grave(J) in peace.[a](K)
14 Yet they say to God, ‘Leave us alone!(L)
We have no desire to know your ways.(M)
15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
What would we gain by praying to him?’(N)
