Amplified Bible

Job 21:4-13 Amplified Bible (AMP)

4. As for me, is my complaint to man or of him? And why should I not be impatient and my spirit be troubled?

5. Look at me and be astonished (appalled); and lay your hand upon your mouth.

6. Even when I remember, I am troubled and afraid; horror and trembling take hold of my flesh.

7. Why do the wicked live, become old, and become mighty in power?

8. Their children are established with them in their sight, and their offspring before their eyes.

9. Their houses are safe and in peace, without fear; neither is the rod of God upon them.

10. Their bull breeds and fails not; their cows calve and do not miscarry.

11. They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children skip about.

12. They themselves lift up their voices and sing to the tambourine and the lyre and rejoice to the sound of the pipe.

13. They spend their days in prosperity and go down to Sheol (the unseen state) in a moment and peacefully.
