Job 21:17-19

International Standard Version

¹⁷ “How often do the wicked have their lights put out?
    Does calamity ever fall on them?
        Will God^[a] in his anger ever apportion their destruction?
¹⁸ May they become like a straw,
    blown away before the wind;
        like a chaff that’s swept off by a storm.
¹⁹ God stores up their iniquity to repay their children;
    making them^[b] repay so that they may be aware.
