Job 21:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ It seems that wicked people enjoy a long life.
    They do not often have many troubles.
When God is angry with them,
    he does not cause them to suffer.
¹⁸ He does not blow them away,
    like the wind blows dry grass.
They do not disappear like chaff that a storm blows away.
¹⁹ You may say, “God will punish a wicked person's children
    with the punishment that he deserves.”
But I say that God should punish the wicked person himself.
    Then he will realize that he is wicked.
