Job 21:7-15

Thomson(i) 7 Why do the wicked live and grow old, abounding in wealth? 8 Their crops are to their wish, and their children before their eyes. 9 Their houses flourish and they have no dread; and a scourge from the Lord is not upon them. 10 Their kine bring not forth untimely births, but go their time safely, and cast not their calves. 11 They abide continually like a flock, and their little ones frolick about them. 12 They take up the psaltery and kithara, and are charmed with the sound of the song; 13 and having spent their life in festivity, they are composed to rest in the peaceful grave. 14 Yet he saith to the Lord, Depart from me, I desire not to know thy ways. 15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him: and what the advantage, that we should wait on him?
