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

Chapter 21

2Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
3Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
4As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
5Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
6Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh. 7Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 21

2Pay close attention to my words; let this be the consolation you offer.
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?
New Living Translation

Chapter 21

2'Listen closely to what I am saying. That’s one consolation you can give me. 3Bear with me, and let me speak. After I have spoken, you may resume mocking me.
4'My complaint is with God, not with people. I have good reason to be so impatient. 5Look at me and be stunned. Put your hand over your mouth in shock. 6When I think about what I am saying, I shudder. My body trembles.
7'Why do the wicked prosper, growing old and powerful?
English Standard Version
