New King James Version

Job 21:5-13 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. Look at me and be astonished;Put your hand over your mouth.

6. Even when I remember I am terrified,And trembling takes hold of my flesh.

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

8. Their descendants are established with them in their sight,And their offspring before their eyes.

9. Their houses are safe from fear,Neither is the rod of God upon them.

10. Their bull breeds without failure;Their cow calves without miscarriage.

11. They send forth their little ones like a flock,And their children dance.

12. They sing to the tambourine and harp,And rejoice to the sound of the flute.

13. They spend their days in wealth,And in a moment go down to the grave.
