Good News Bible

Job 21:1-2-7 Good News Bible (GNB)

1-2. Listen to what I am saying;that is all the comfort I ask from you.

3. Give me a chance to speak and then,when I am through, sneer if you like.

4. My quarrel is not with mortals;I have good reason to be impatient.

5. Look at me. Isn't that enoughto make you stare in shocked silence?

6. When I think of what has happened to me,I am stunned, and I tremble and shake.

7. Why does God let evil people live,let them grow old and prosper?
