Then Job
answered,
2
"Listen
carefully
to my speech,
And let this
be your way of consolation.
3
"Bear
with me that I may speak;
Then after
I have spoken,
you may mock.
4
"As for me, is my complaint
to man?
And why
should I not be impatient?
5
"Look
at me, and be astonished,
And put
your hand
over
your mouth.
6
"Even when
I remember,
I am disturbed,
And horror
takes hold
of my flesh.
7
"Why
do the wicked
still live,
Continue
on, also
become
very powerful?
8
"Their descendants
are established
with them in their sight,
And their offspring
before their eyes,
9
Their houses
are safe
from fear,
And the rod
of God
is not on them.
10
"His ox
mates
without
fail;
His cow
calves
and does not abort.
11
"They send
forth their little ones
like the flock,
And their children
skip about.
12
"They sing
to the timbrel
and harp
And rejoice
at the sound
of the flute.
13
"They spend
their days
in prosperity,
And suddenly
they go down
to Sheol.
14
"They say
to God,
'
Depart
from us! We do not even desire
the knowledge
of Your ways.
15
'
Who
is the Almighty,
that we should serve
Him, And what
would we gain
if
we entreat
Him?'
16
"Behold,
their prosperity
is not in their hand;
The counsel
of the wicked
is far
from me.
17
"How often
is the lamp
of the wicked
put
out, Or does their calamity
fall
on them? Does God apportion
destruction
in His anger?
18
"Are they as straw
before
the wind,
And like chaff
which the storm
carries away?
19
"You say, 'God
stores away
a man's iniquity
for his sons.'
Let God repay
him so that he may know
it.
20
"Let his own eyes
see
his decay,
And let him drink
of the wrath
of the Almighty.
21
"For what
does he care
for his household
after
him, When the number
of his months
is cut off?
22
"Can anyone teach
God
knowledge,
In that He judges
those on high?
23
"One
dies
in his full
strength,
Being wholly
at ease
and satisfied;
24
His sides
are filled
out with fat,
And the marrow
of his bones
is moist,
25
While another
dies
with a bitter
soul,
Never
even tasting
anything good.
26
"Together
they lie down
in the dust,
And worms
cover
them.
27
"Behold,
I know
your thoughts,
And the plans
by which you would wrong
me.
28
"For you say,
'Where
is the house
of the nobleman,
And where
is the tent,
the dwelling places
of the wicked?'
29
"Have you not asked
wayfaring
men, And do you not recognize
their witness?
30
"For the wicked
is reserved
for the day
of calamity;
They will be led forth
at the day
of fury.
31
"Who
will confront
him with his actions,
And who
will repay
him for what he has done?
32
"While he is carried
to the grave,
Men will keep watch
over
his tomb.
33
"The clods
of the valley
will gently cover
him; Moreover, all
men
will follow
after
him, While countless
ones go before
him.
34
"How
then will you vainly
comfort
me, For your answers
remain
full of falsehood?"
