New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 20
25 The arrow is pulled from their back, and the arrowhead glistens with blood. The terrors of death are upon them.
26 Their treasures will be thrown into deepest darkness. A wildfire will devour their goods, consuming all they have left.
27 The heavens will reveal their guilt, and the earth will testify against them.
28 A flood will sweep away their house. God’s anger will descend on them in torrents.
29 This is the reward that God gives the wicked. It is the inheritance decreed by God.”
Job 21
1 Then Job spoke again:
2 “Listen closely to what I am saying. That’s one consolation you can give me.
3 Bear 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.
5 Look at me and be stunned. Put your hand over your mouth in shock.
6 When I think about what I am saying, I shudder. My body trembles.
