God's Word Translation

Job 21:5-13 God's Word Translation (GW)

5. Look at me, and be shocked,and put ⌊your⌋ hand over ⌊your⌋ mouth.

6. When I remember it, I’m terrified,and shuddering seizes my body.

7. “Why do the wicked go on living, grow old,and even become more powerful?

8. They see their children firmly established with them,and they get to see their descendants.

9. Their homes are free from fear,and God doesn’t use his rod on them.

10. Their bulls are fertile when they breed.Their cows give birth to calves and never miscarry.

11. They send their little children out ⌊to play⌋like a flock of lambs,and their children dance around.

12. They sing with the tambourine and lyre,and they are happy with the music of the flute.

13. They spend their days in happiness,and they go peacefully to the grave.
