\\ [[commentaar:job21-1|1]] But Job answered and said,
\\ [[commentaar:job21-2|2]] Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-3|3]] Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-4|4]] As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
\\ [[commentaar:job21-5|5]] Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-6|6]] Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-7|7]] Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
\\ [[commentaar:job21-8|8]] Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-9|9]] Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-10|10]] Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-11|11]] They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-12|12]] They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-13|13]] They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-14|14]] Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-15|15]] What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
\\ [[commentaar:job21-16|16]] Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-17|17]] How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-18|18]] They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-19|19]] God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-20|20]] His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-21|21]] For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
\\ [[commentaar:job21-22|22]] Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-23|23]] One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-24|24]] His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-25|25]] And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-26|26]] They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-27|27]] Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-28|28]] For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
\\ [[commentaar:job21-29|29]] Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,
\\ [[commentaar:job21-30|30]] That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-31|31]] Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
\\ [[commentaar:job21-32|32]] Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-33|33]] The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
\\ [[commentaar:job21-34|34]] How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?
