Job 21
Reading Job chapter 21 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–10
1 Then Job answered,
2 “Listen diligently to my speech. Let this be your consolation.
3 Allow me, and I also will speak. After I have spoken, mock on.
4 As for me, is my complaint to man? Why shouldn’t I be impatient?
5 Look at me, and be astonished. Lay your hand on your mouth.
6 When I remember, I am troubled. Horror takes hold of my flesh.
7 “Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?
8 Their child is established with them in their sight, their offspring before their eyes.
9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
10 Their bulls breed without fail. Their cows calve, and don’t miscarry.
