| 21:1 |  ut Iob answered, and sayd, |
|
| 21:2 | Heare diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations. | |
| 21:3 | Suffer me that I may speake, and after that I haue spoken, mocke on. | |
| 21:4 | As for mee, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled? |
 |
| 21:5 | Marke mee, and be astonished, and lay your hand vpon your mouth. |
|
| 21:6 | Euen when I remember, I am afraid, and trembling taketh holde on my flesh. | |
| 21:7 | Wherefore doe the wicked liue, become old, yea, are mightie in power? | |
| 21:8 | Their seede is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. | |
| 21:9 | Their houses are safe from feare, neither is the rod of God vpon them. |
|
| 21:10 | Their bull gendreth and faileth not, their cow calueth, and casteth not her calfe. | |
| 21:11 | They send foorth their little ones like a flocke, and their children dance. | |
| 21:12 | They take the timbrell and harpe, and reioyce at the sound of the organe. | |
| 21:13 | They spend their daies in wealth, and in a moment goe downe to the graue. |
|
| 21:14 | Therefore they say vnto God, Depart from vs: for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes. | |
| 21:15 | What is the Almightie, that wee should serue him? and what profite should we haue, if we pray vnto him? | |
| 21:16 | Loe, their good is not in their hand, the counsell of the wicked is farre from me. | |
| 21:17 | How oft is the candle of the wicked put out? and how oft commeth their destruction vpon them? God distributeth sorrowes in his anger. |
|
| 21:18 | They are as stubble before the winde, and as chaffe that the storme carieth away. |
|
| 21:19 | God layeth vp his iniquitie for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it. |
|
| 21:20 | His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drinke of the wrath of the Almightie. | |
| 21:21 | For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his moneths is cut off in the middest? | |
| 21:22 | Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he iudgeth those that are high. | |
| 21:23 | One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. |
|
| 21:24 | His breasts are full of milke, and his bones are moistened with marrow. |
|
| 21:25 | And another dieth in the bitternesse of his soule, and neuer eateth with pleasure. | |
| 21:26 | They shall lie downe alike in the dust, and the wormes shall couer them. | |
| 21:27 | Behold, I know your thoughts, and the deuices which yee wrongfully imagine against me. | |
| 21:28 | For ye say, where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked? |
|
| 21:29 | Haue ye not asked them that goe by the way? and doe ye not know their tokens? | |
| 21:30 | That the wicked is reserued to the day of destruction; they shall bee brought foorth to the day of wrath. |
|
| 21:31 | Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done? | |
| 21:32 | Yet shall hee be brought to the graue, & shall remaine in the tombe. |
|
| 21:33 | The cloudes of the valley shalbe sweete vnto him, and euery man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him. | |
| 21:34 | How then comfort ye me in vaine, seeing in your answeres there remaineth falshood? |
