Job 21:17-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ Yet how often is the lamp of evil people turned off?
    How often does trouble come to them?
    How often do they suffer the punishment God plans in his anger?
¹⁸ How often are they like straw in the wind
    or like chaff that is blown away by a storm?
¹⁹ It is said, ‘God saves up a man’s punishment for the man’s children.’
    God should punish the evil person himself so he will know it.
²⁰ His eyes should see his own destruction.
    He should suffer the anger of God All-Powerful.
²¹ He does not care about the family he leaves behind
    when his life has come to an end.
