Job 21:17-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ “How often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out?
How often does disaster happen to them?
How often does an angry God give them pain?
¹⁸ How often are they like straw in the wind
or like husks that the storm sweeps away?

¹⁹ “⌞You say,⌟ ‘God saves a person’s punishment for his children.’
God should pay back that person
so that he would know that it is a punishment.
