1.But Job answered and said,
2.Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
3.Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
6.Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
7.Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
8.Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
10.Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
11.They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
12.They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
14.Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
15.What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
16.Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
20.His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21.For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
22.Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
25.And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
26.They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
27.Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.
29.Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,
31.Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
33.The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
