Job 21:17-34 How often is the lamp of the wicked extinguished That their calamity comes on them, That He apportions cramps in His anger?

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ How often is the lamp of the wicked extinguished That their calamity comes on them, That He apportions cramps in His anger? ¹⁸ Do they become like crushed straw before the wind, Or like trash that the sweeping whirlwind steals away? ¹⁹ Is Eloah secluding payment for his lawlessness to give to his sons? May He repay him that he may know! ²⁰ May his own eyes see his downfall, And may he drink of the fury of Him Who Suffices. ²¹ For what is his interest in his house after he is gone, When the number of his months have run out? ²² Who shall teach knowledge to El? Since He Himself shall judge the exalted ones? ²³ This one dies in his robust plentifulness, His whole state snug and at ease;" ²⁴ His viscera are full of fat, And the marrow of his bones is hearty. ²⁵ Yet this other one dies with a bitter soul, Who has never eaten of good. ²⁶ They lie together in the soil, And worms cover them both. ²⁷ Behold, I know your reckonings And the plans that you wrongly make against me. ²⁸ For you are saying, Where is the house of the tyrant, And where are the tent tabernacles of the wicked? ²⁹ Have you not asked those passing on the way, And do you not admit their evidence, ³⁰ That the evil one is kept back in the day of calamity; In the day of rage they are escorted safely? ³¹ Who denounces his way to his face, And who repays him for what he himself has done? ³² When he is fetched to the place of tombs, Watch is set alert over the grave-mound. ³³ The clods of the watercourse are sweet to him; All humanity draws out after him, And there is no numbering of those before him. ³⁴ How then can you comfort me with vanity, When only offense remains in your replies?
