Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Job 21
¹³ They spend their days in wealth, And in a moment go down to the grave.
¹⁴ Yet they say to God, ’Depart from us, For we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.
¹⁵ Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? And what profit do we have if we pray to Him?’
¹⁶ Indeed 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? How often does their destruction come upon them, The sorrows God distributes in His anger?
¹⁸ They are like straw before the wind, And like chaff that a storm carries away.
¹⁹ They say, ’God lays up one’s iniquity for his children’; Let Him recompense him, that he may know it.
²⁰ Let his eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
²¹ For what does he care about his household after him, When the number of his months is cut in half?
²² "Can anyone teach God knowledge, Since He judges those on high?
²³ One dies in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and secure;
