Job 21:7-13
New International Version
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)
