Job 21:2-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 21
2'Listen carefully to my speech, And let this be your way of consolation. 3Bear with me that I may speak; Then after I have spoken, you may mock me. 4As for me, is my complaint to a mortal? Or why should I not be impatient? 5Look at me, and be astonished, And put your hand over your mouth. 6Even when I remember, I am disturbed, And horror takes hold of my flesh. 7Why do the wicked still live, Grow old, and also become very powerful?King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
3Bear with me while I speak; then after I have spoken, you may continue mocking.
4As for me, is my complaint against a human being? Then why shouldn’t I be impatient?
5Look at me and shudder; put your hand over your mouth.
6When I think about it, I am terrified and my body trembles in horror.
7Why do the wicked continue to live, growing old and becoming powerful?
