New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Job 21
8 "Their descendants are established with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes,
9 Their houses are safe from fear, And the rod of God is not on them.
10 "His ox mates without fail; His cow calves and does not abort.
11 "They send forth their little ones like the flock, And their children skip about.
12 "They sing to the timbrel and harp And rejoice at the sound of the flute.
13 "They spend their days in prosperity, And suddenly they go down to Sheol.
14 "They say to God, ’Depart from us! We do not even desire the knowledge of Your ways.
15 ’Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him, And what would we gain if we entreat Him?’
16 "Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand; The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17 "How often is the lamp of the wicked put out, Or does their calamity fall on them? Does God apportion destruction in His anger?
18 "Are they as straw before the wind, And like chaff which the storm carries away?
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
