< Job 21 >

1 But Job answered and said,
And he answered Job and he said.
2 Hear you, hear you my words, that I may not have this consolation from you.
Listen completely [to] speech my and let it be this consolations your.
3 Raise me, and I will speak; then you shall not laugh me to scorn.
Bear with me and I I will speak and after have spoken I you will mock.
4 What! is my reproof of man? and why should I not be angry?
¿ I to humankind [is] complaint my and if why? not will it be short spirit my.
5 Look upon me, and wonder, laying your hand upon your cheek.
Turn to me and be appalled and put a hand over a mouth.
6 For even when I remember, I am alarmed, and pains seize my flesh.
And if I remember [this] and I am disturbed and it takes hold of flesh my shuddering.
7 Therefore do the ungodly live, and grow old even in wealth?
Why? wicked [people] do they live they grow old also do they become strong? strength.
8 Their seed is according to [their] desire, and their children are in [their] sight.
Offspring their [is] established before them with them and descendants their to eyes their.
9 Their houses are prosperous, neither [have they] any where [cause for] fear, neither is there a scourge from the Lord upon them.
Houses their [are] safety from fear and not [the] rod of God [is] on them.
10 Their cow does not cast her calf, and their [beast] with young is safe, and does not miscarry.
Bull his it impregnates and not it fails it calves cow his and not it miscarries.
11 And they remain as an unfailing flock, and their children play before [them], taking up the lute and harp;
They send forth like flock young boys their and children their they leap about!
12 and they rejoice at the voice of a song.
They lift according to tambourine and harp so they may rejoice to [the] sound of a flute.
13 And they spend their days in wealth, and fall asleep in the rest of the grave. (Sheol h7585)
(They complete *Q(K)*) in the good days their and in a moment Sheol they descend. (Sheol h7585)
14 Yet [such a man] says to the Lord, Depart from me; I desire not to know your ways.
And they have said to God depart from us and knowledge of ways your not we desire.
15 What is the Mighty One, that we should serve him? and what profit is there that we should approach him?
What? [is the] Almighty that we will serve him and what? will we gain that we will entreat him.
16 For their good things were in [their] hands, but he regards not the works of the ungodly.
There! not [is] in own hand their prosperity their [the] counsel of wicked [people] it is far from me.
17 Nevertheless, the lamp of the ungodly also shall be put out, and destruction shall come upon them, and pangs of vengeance shall seize them.
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 And they shall be as chaff before the wind, or as dust which the storm has taken up.
Are they? like straw before a wind and like chaff [which] it has stolen it a storm-wind.
19 Let his substance fail [to supply] his children: [God] shall recompense him, and he shall know it.
God he stores up for children his wickedness his let him repay to him so he may know.
20 Let his eyes see his own destruction, and let him not be saved by the Lord.
Let them see (own eyes his *Q(K)*) destruction his and from [the] rage of [the] Almighty let him drink.
21 For his desire is in his house with him, and the number of his months has been suddenly cut off.
For what? [is] pleasure his in household his after him and [the] number of months his they have been cut off.
22 Is it not the Lord who teaches understanding and knowledge? and does not he judge murders?
¿ To God will anyone teach knowledge and he exalted [ones] he judges.
23 One shall die in his perfect strength, and wholly at ease and prosperous;
This [one] he will die with limb[s] of completeness his all of him [is] at ease and at ease.
24 and his inwards are full of fat, and his marrow is diffused [throughout him].
Pails his they are full milk and [the] marrow of bones his it is watered.
25 And another dies in bitterness of soul, not eating any good thing.
And this [one] he will die with a soul bitter and not he has eaten in the good.
26 But they lie down in the earth together, and corruption covers them.
Together on dust they will lie and a maggot it will cover over them.
27 So I know you, that you presumptuously attack me:
Here! I know thoughts your and [the] schemes on me you do violence.
28 so that you will say, Where is the house of the prince? and where is the covering of the tabernacles of the ungodly?
For you say where? [is the] house of a noble [person] and where? [is the] tent of - [the] dwelling places of wicked [people].
29 Ask those that go by the way, and do not disown their tokens.
¿ Not have you asked [those who] pass by of [the] road and signs their not do you recognize?
30 For the wicked hastens to the day of destruction: they shall be led away for the day of his vengeance.
That to a day of calamity he is spared an evil [person] to a day of furi they are brought forth.
31 Who will tell him his way to his face, whereas he has done [it]? who shall recompense him?
Who? will he tell on face his way his and [that which] he he has done who? will he repay to him.
32 And he has been led away to the tombs, and he has watched over the heaps.
And he to [the] grave he will be borne and over a tomb someone will keep watch.
33 The stones of the valley have been sweet to him, and every man shall depart after him, and [there are] innumerable [ones] before him.
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 How then do you comfort me in vain? whereas I have no rest from your molestation.
And how? will you comfort me vanity and answers your it remains unfaithfulness.
