Pinatunayan ni Job na Masagana ang Buhay ng Masama
21 Ang sagot ni Job,
2 “Pakinggan ninyong mabuti itong aking sasabihin;
ituturing ko nang ito'y pag-aliw sa akin.
3 Ako muna'y inyong pagsalitain,
at pagkatapos nito, saka na ninyo laitin.
4 “Di laban sa tao itong aking hinanakit,
may sapat akong dahilan, kung bakit hindi makatiis.
5 Tingnan ninyo ang hitsura ko, hindi pa ba ito sapat
upang tumahimik na kayo at walang salitang mabigkas?
6 Tuwing iisipin ko itong sinapit ko,
ako'y nanginginig at nanlulumo.
7 Bakit kaya ang masama'y hinahayaan pang mabuhay,
tumatanda pa at nagtatagumpay?
8 Mayroon silang mga anak at mga apo,
naabutan pa nila ang paglaki ng mga ito.
9 Hindi pinipinsala ang kanilang mga tahanan;
parusa ng Diyos ay di nila nararanasan.
10 Ang pagdami ng kanilang mga hayop ay mabilis,
ang inahin nilang baka'y nasa ayos kung magbuntis.
11 Ang kanilang mga anak ay naghahabulan, parang tupang naglalaro at mayroon pang sayawan.
12 Umaawit sa saliw ng tamburin at lira, umiindak, nagsasayaw sa tunog ng mga plauta.
13 Ang buong buhay nila'y puspos ng kasaganaan;
at mapayapa ang kanilang pagharap sa kamatayan.
14 “Sinasabi nila sa Diyos, ‘Huwag mo kaming pakialaman.
Ayaw naming alamin ang iyong kalooban!
15 Sino ba ang Makapangyarihang Diyos upang sambahin namin?
At ano bang mapapala kung sa kanya'y mananalangin?’
16 Ang akala nila, sa sariling lakas galing ang tagumpay,
ngunit di ako sang-ayon sa kanilang palagay.
17 “Ilawan ba ng masama'y pinatay nang minsan?
Sila ba ay dumanas ng matinding kahirapan,
at ang parusa ng Diyos, sa kanila ba'y ipinataw?
18 Itinulad ba sa dayaming nililipad nitong hangin
o ipang walang laman, tinatangay sa papawirin?
19 “Sinasabi ninyong ang anak ay pinaparusahan dahil sa sala ng kanyang magulang.
Parusahan sana ng Diyos ang mismong may kasalanan!
20 Sa gayo'y mararanasan nila ang kahirapang sasapitin;
sa parusa ng Makapangyarihang Diyos, sila ang pagdanasin.
21 Kapag ang isang tao'y binawian ng buhay,
ano pang pakialam niya sa pamilyang naiwan?
22 Sinong makakapagturo ng dapat gawin ng Diyos,
na siyang humahatol sa buong sansinukob?
23 “May taong namamatay sa gitna ng kasaganaan,
panatag ang katayuan, maginhawa ang kabuhayan.
24 Katawan niya ay malusog,
at malalakas ang tuhod.
25 Mayroon namang namamatay sa kahirapan,
ni hindi nakalasap kahit kaunting kaligayahan.
26 Ngunit pareho silang sa alabok nahihimlay,
at kapwa inuuod ang kanilang katawan.
27 “Alam ko kung ano ang binabalak ninyong gawin
at ang masamang iniisip ninyo laban sa akin.
28 Tiyak na itatanong ninyo kung nasaan ang tahanan
ng taong namuhay sa kasamaan.
29 “Hindi ba ninyo naitatanong sa mga manlalakbay,
mga ulat nila'y hindi ba ninyo pinaniniwalaan?
30 Sa panahon ng kahirapan at kasawiang-palad,
di ba't ang masama ay laging naliligtas?
31 Sa kanyang kasamaa'y walang nagpapamukha,
walang naniningil sa masama niyang gawa.
32 Kapag siya ay namatay at inihatid na sa hukay,
maraming nagbabantay sa kanyang libingan.
33 Napakaraming sa kanya'y maghahatid sa libing,
pati lupang hihigan niya, sa kanya ay malambing.
34 Ngunit pang-aaliw ninyo'y walang kabuluhan,
pagkat lahat ng sagot ninyo'y pawang kasinungalingan!”

Job
21 Then Job replied:
2 “Listen carefully to my words;(A)
let this be the consolation you give me.(B)
3 Bear with me while I speak,
and after I have spoken, mock on.(C)
4 “Is my complaint(D) directed to a human being?
Why should I not be impatient?(E)
5 Look at me and be appalled;
clap your hand over your mouth.(F)
6 When I think about this, I am terrified;(G)
trembling seizes my body.(H)
7 Why do the wicked live on,
growing old and increasing in power?(I)
8 They see their children established around them,
their offspring before their eyes.(J)
9 Their homes are safe and free from fear;(K)
the rod of God is not on them.(L)
10 Their bulls never fail to breed;
their cows calve and do not miscarry.(M)
11 They send forth their children as a flock;(N)
their little ones dance about.
12 They sing to the music of timbrel and lyre;(O)
they make merry to the sound of the pipe.(P)
13 They spend their years in prosperity(Q)
and go down to the grave(R) in peace.[a](S)
14 Yet they say to God, ‘Leave us alone!(T)
We have no desire to know your ways.(U)
15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
What would we gain by praying to him?’(V)
16 But their prosperity is not in their own hands,
so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.(W)
17 “Yet how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out?(X)
How often does calamity(Y) come upon them,
the fate God allots in his anger?(Z)
18 How often are they like straw before the wind,
like chaff(AA) swept away(AB) by a gale?(AC)
19 It is said, ‘God stores up the punishment of the wicked for their children.’(AD)
Let him repay the wicked, so that they themselves will experience it!(AE)
20 Let their own eyes see their destruction;(AF)
let them drink(AG) the cup of the wrath of the Almighty.(AH)
21 For what do they care about the families they leave behind(AI)
when their allotted months(AJ) come to an end?(AK)
22 “Can anyone teach knowledge to God,(AL)
since he judges even the highest?(AM)
23 One person dies in full vigor,(AN)
completely secure and at ease,(AO)
24 well nourished(AP) in body,[b]
bones(AQ) rich with marrow.(AR)
25 Another dies in bitterness of soul,(AS)
never having enjoyed anything good.
26 Side by side they lie in the dust,(AT)
and worms(AU) cover them both.(AV)
27 “I know full well what you are thinking,
the schemes by which you would wrong me.
28 You say, ‘Where now is the house of the great,(AW)
the tents where the wicked lived?’(AX)
29 Have you never questioned those who travel?
Have you paid no regard to their accounts—
30 that the wicked are spared from the day of calamity,(AY)
that they are delivered from[c] the day of wrath?(AZ)
31 Who denounces their conduct to their face?
Who repays them for what they have done?(BA)
32 They are carried to the grave,
and watch is kept over their tombs.(BB)
33 The soil in the valley is sweet to them;(BC)
everyone follows after them,
and a countless throng goes[d] before them.(BD)
