1 - Then Job Replied:
2 - "Listen Carefully To My Words; Let This Be The Consolation You Give Me.
3 - Bear With Me While I Speak, And After I Have Spoken, Mock On.
4 - "Is My Complaint Directed To Man? Why Should I Not Be Impatient?
5 - Look At Me And Be Astonished; Clap Your Hand Over Your Mouth.
6 - When I Think About This, I Am Terrified; Trembling Seizes My Body.
7 - Why Do The Wicked Live On, Growing Old And Increasing In Power?
8 - They See Their Children Established Around Them, Their Offspring Before Their Eyes.
9 - Their Homes Are Safe And Free From Fear; The Rod Of God Is Not Upon Them.
10 - Their Bulls Never Fail To Breed; Their Cows Calve And Do Not Miscarry.
11 - They Send Forth Their Children As A Flock; Their Little Ones Dance About.
12 - They Sing To The Music Of Tambourine And Harp; They Make Merry To The Sound Of The Flute.
13 - They Spend Their Years In Prosperity And Go Down To The Grave In Peace.
14 - Yet They Say To God, 'Leave Us Alone! We Have No Desire To Know Your Ways.
15 - Who Is The Almighty, That We Should Serve Him? What Would We Gain By Praying To Him?'
16 - But Their Prosperity Is Not In Their Own Hands, So I Stand Aloof From The Counsel Of The Wicked.
17 - "Yet How Often Is The Lamp Of The Wicked Snuffed Out? How Often Does Calamity Come Upon Them, The Fate God Allots In His Anger?
18 - How Often Are They Like Straw Before The Wind, Like Chaff Swept Away By A Gale?
19 - It Is Said, 'God Stores Up A Man's Punishment For His Sons.' Let Him Repay The Man Himself, So That He Will Know It!
20 - Let His Own Eyes See His Destruction; Let Him Drink Of The Wrath Of The Almighty.
21 - For What Does He Care About The Family He Leaves Behind When His Allotted Months Come To An End?
22 - "Can Anyone Teach Knowledge To God, Since He Judges Even The Highest?
23 - One Man Dies In Full Vigor, Completely Secure And At Ease,
24 - His Body Well Nourished, His Bones Rich With Marrow.
25 - Another Man Dies In Bitterness Of Soul, Never Having Enjoyed Anything Good.
26 - Side By Side They Lie In The Dust, And Worms Cover Them Both.
27 - "I Know Full Well What You Are Thinking, The Schemes By Which You Would Wrong Me.
28 - You Say, 'Where Now Is The Great Man's House, The Tents Where Wicked Men Lived?'
29 - Have You Never Questioned Those Who Travel? Have You Paid No Regard To Their Accounts-
30 - That The Evil Man Is Spared From The Day Of Calamity, That He Is Delivered From The Day Of Wrath?
31 - Who Denounces His Conduct To His Face? Who Repays Him For What He Has Done?
32 - He Is Carried To The Grave, And Watch Is Kept Over His Tomb.
33 - The Soil In The Valley Is Sweet To Him; All Men Follow After Him, And A Countless Throng Goes Before Him.
34 - "So How Can You Console Me With Your Nonsense? Nothing Is Left Of Your Answers But Falsehood!"
