Job 21:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵    Who is the Highest One^[a] anyway,
        and why should we serve Him?
    What can we possibly gain by asking favors of Him?
        Isn’t He generous enough already?”
¹⁶    Look, don’t you see?
        The wicked do not control their own wealth, God does;
    I am a long way from understanding the plan for the wicked.

¹⁷    Bildad claims the flame of the wicked is blown out.
        But how often is their lamp extinguished?
    How often does disaster strike them or does God give them pain
        because of His anger at what they’ve done?
