Job 21
1 Job replied,
And he answered Job and he said.
2 “Please listen carefully to what I say—that would be one comfort you could give me.
Listen completely [to] speech my and let it be this consolations your.
3 Bear with me; let me speak. After I've spoken you can resume mocking me.
Bear with me and I I will speak and after have spoken I you will mock.
4 Am I complaining against people? Of course not. Why shouldn't I be impatient?
¿ I to humankind [is] complaint my and if why? not will it be short spirit my.
5 Just take a look at me. Aren't you appalled? Cover your mouth with your hand in shock!
Turn to me and be appalled and put a hand over a mouth.
6 Every time I think of what's happened to me I am horrified and I shake all over with fear.
And if I remember [this] and I am disturbed and it takes hold of flesh my shuddering.
7 Why do the wicked continue to live, to grow old and increasingly powerful?
Why? wicked [people] do they live they grow old also do they become strong? strength.
8 Their children are with them; they watch their grandchildren grow up.
Offspring their [is] established before them with them and descendants their to eyes their.
9 They live in their homes in safety—they are not afraid. God does not use his rod to beat them.
Houses their [are] safety from fear and not [the] rod of God [is] on them.
10 Their bulls always breed successfully; their cows give birth to calves and do not miscarry.
Bull his it impregnates and not it fails it calves cow his and not it miscarries.
11 They send out their little ones like lambs to play; their children dance around.
They send forth like flock young boys their and children their they leap about!
12 They sing accompanied by the tambourine and lyre; they celebrate with the music of the flute.
They lift according to tambourine and harp so they may rejoice to [the] sound of a flute.
(They complete *Q(K)*) in the good days their and in a moment Sheol they descend. (Sheol h7585)
14 Yet they tell God, ‘Get lost! We don't want anything to do with you.
And they have said to God depart from us and knowledge of ways your not we desire.
15 Who does the Almighty think he is for us to serve him as slaves? What benefit is there for us if we pray to him?’
What? [is the] Almighty that we will serve him and what? will we gain that we will entreat him.
16 Such people believe they make their own fortune, but I don't accept their way of thinking.
There! not [is] in own hand their prosperity their [the] counsel of wicked [people] it is far from me.
17 How often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out? How often does disaster come upon them? How often does God punish the wicked in his anger?
How often? - [the] lamp of wicked [people] is it extinguished and it may come? on them calamity their pain does he apportion? in anger his.
18 Are they blown along like straw in the wind? Does a tornado come in and carry them away?
Are they? like straw before a wind and like chaff [which] it has stolen it a storm-wind.
19 Some say, ‘God saves up people's punishment for their children.’ But I say, ‘God should punish those people themselves so that they can learn from it.’
God he stores up for children his wickedness his let him repay to him so he may know.
20 Let them see their destruction themselves, and drink deeply from God's anger.
Let them see (own eyes his *Q(K)*) destruction his and from [the] rage of [the] Almighty let him drink.
21 For they don't care what happens to their families once they're dead.
For what? [is] pleasure his in household his after him and [the] number of months his they have been cut off.
22 Can anyone teach God anything he doesn't already know, since he is the one who judges even heavenly beings?
¿ To God will anyone teach knowledge and he exalted [ones] he judges.
23 One person dies in good health, totally comfortable and secure.
This [one] he will die with limb[s] of completeness his all of him [is] at ease and at ease.
24 Their body is fat from eating well; their bones still strong.
Pails his they are full milk and [the] marrow of bones his it is watered.
25 Another dies after a miserable life without every experiencing happiness.
And this [one] he will die with a soul bitter and not he has eaten in the good.
26 Yet they are both buried in the same dust; they are treated alike in death, eaten by maggots.
Together on dust they will lie and a maggot it will cover over them.
27 Look, I know what you're thinking, and your schemes to do me wrong.
Here! I know thoughts your and [the] schemes on me you do violence.
28 You may ask me, ‘Where is the home of the great man? Where is the place where the wicked live?’
For you say where? [is the] house of a noble [person] and where? [is the] tent of - [the] dwelling places of wicked [people].
29 Haven't you asked people who travel? Don't you pay attention to what they tell you?
¿ Not have you asked [those who] pass by of [the] road and signs their not do you recognize?
30 Wicked people are spared in times of disaster; they are rescued from the day of judgment.
That to a day of calamity he is spared an evil [person] to a day of furi they are brought forth.
31 Who confronts them with their actions? Who pays them back for what they have done?
Who? will he tell on face his way his and [that which] he he has done who? will he repay to him.
32 When they eventually die and are carried to the graveyard, their tomb is guarded. The earth of the grave softly covers them.
And he to [the] grave he will be borne and over a tomb someone will keep watch.
33 Everyone attends their funeral service; a huge procession of people comes to pay their last respects.
They will be sweet to him [the] clods of [the] wadi and after him every person he will follow and before him there not [is] number.
34 Why do you try to comfort me with worthless nonsense? Your answers are just a pack of lies!”
And how? will you comfort me vanity and answers your it remains unfaithfulness.
