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?’

New King James Version
5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents. 6 Now (A)the land was not able to [a]support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together. 7 And there was (B)strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. (C)The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.
8 So Abram said to Lot, (D)“Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren. 9 (E)Is not the whole land before you? Please (F)separate from me. (G)If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.”
10 And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all (H)the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the Lord (I)destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) (J)like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go toward (K)Zoar. 11 Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other.
