the night.
Job20:9 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
Job20:10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
Job20:11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
Job20:12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
Job20:13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
Job20:14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
Job20:15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
Job20:16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
Job20:17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
Job20:18 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
Job20:19 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
Job20:20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
Job20:21 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
Job20:22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
Job20:23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
Job20:24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
Job20:25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
Job20:26 All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
Job20:27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
Job20:28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
Job20:29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
Job21:1 But Job answered and said,
Job21:2 Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
Job21:3 Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
Job21:4 As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
Job21:5 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
Job21:6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
Job21:7 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
Job21:8 Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
Job21:9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
Job21:10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
Job21:11 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
Job21:12 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
Job21:13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
Job21:14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
Job21:15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
Job21:16 Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Job21:17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.
Job21:18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
Job21:19 God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
Job21:20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
Job21:21 For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
Job21:22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
Job21:23 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
Job21:24 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
Job21:25 And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
Job21:26 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
Job21:27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.
Job21:28 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
Job21:29 Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,
Job21:30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
Job21:31 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
Job21:32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.
Job21:33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
Job21:34 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?
Job22:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Job22:2 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
Job22:3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
Job22:4 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
Job22:5 Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
Job22:6 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
Job22:7 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
Job22:8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
Job22:9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
Job22:10 Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
Job22:11 Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
Job22:12 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
Job22:13 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
Job22:14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
Job22:15 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
Job22:16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
Job22:17 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
Job22:18 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Job22:19 The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
Job22:20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
Job22:21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
Job22:22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
Job22:23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
Job22:24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
Job22:25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
