Job 21:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 What is the Almighty that we should serve him?
And what do we gain by praying to him?”(A)
16 Their happiness is not in their own hands.
The designs of the wicked are far from me!(B)
17 How often is the lamp of the wicked put out?
How often does destruction come upon them,
the portion God allots in his anger?
