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?’

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)

Habakkuk 1:13-17
New King James Version
13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil,
And cannot look on wickedness.
Why do You look on those who deal treacherously,
And hold Your tongue when the wicked devours
A person more righteous than he?
14 Why do You make men like fish of the sea,
Like creeping things that have no ruler over them?
15 They take up all of them with a hook,
They catch them in their net,
And gather them in their dragnet.
Therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16 Therefore (A)they sacrifice to their net,
And burn incense to their dragnet;
Because by them their share is [a]sumptuous
And their food plentiful.
17 Shall they therefore empty their net,
And continue to slay nations without pity?

like the sea creatures that have no ruler.
15 The wicked(F) foe pulls all of them up with hooks,(G)
he catches them in his net,(H)
he gathers them up in his dragnet;
and so he rejoices and is glad.
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net
and burns incense(I) to his dragnet,
for by his net he lives in luxury
and enjoys the choicest food.
17 Is he to keep on emptying his net,
destroying nations without mercy?(J)

20 (A)But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him. 21 Then he was (B)driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, (C)till he [a]knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and appoints over it whomever He chooses.
22 “But you his son, Belshazzar, (D)have not humbled your heart, although you knew all this. 23 (E)And you have [b]lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. They have brought the (F)vessels of [c]His house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, (G)which do not see or hear or know; and the God who holds your breath in His hand (H)and owns all your ways, you have not glorified. 24 Then the [d]fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written.
25 “And this is the inscription that was written:
[e]MENE, MENE, [f]TEKEL, [g]UPHARSIN.
26 This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; 27 TEKEL: (I)You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; 28 PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the (J)Medes and (K)Persians.”[h]
