Job 21:4

Verse 4 of 34. The 21st of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

1Then Job answered,

2“Listen diligently to my speech. Let this be your consolation.

3Allow me, and I also will speak. After I have spoken, mock on.

4As for me, is my complaint to man? Why shouldn’t I be impatient?

5Look at me, and be astonished. Lay your hand on your mouth.

6When I remember, I am troubled. Horror takes hold of my flesh.

7“Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?

8Their child is established with them in their sight, their offspring before their eyes.
