Job 21:17-21



17
“How often is athe lamp of the wicked put out,
Or does their bdisaster fall on them?
Does 1God apportion destruction in His anger?

18
Are they as astraw before the wind,
And like bchaff which the storm steals away?

19
You say, ‘aGod stores away 1a man’s wickedness for his sons.’
Let 2God repay him so that he may know it.

20
Let his aown eyes see his decay,
And let him bdrink of the wrath of 1the Almighty.

21
For what desire does he have for his household 1after him,
When the number of his months is cut off?

Job 24:18-21



18
“1They are 2ainsignificant on the surface of the water;
Their portion is bcursed on the earth.
They do not turn 3toward the cvineyards.

19
Drought and heat aseize the snow waters,
So does bSheol those who have sinned.

20
A 1amother will forget him;
The bworm feasts sweetly till he is cno longer remembered.
And unrighteousness will be broken dlike a tree.

21
He feeds on the barren woman who does not give birth
And does no good for athe widow.
