Job 21:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ “How often are their lamps blown out?
    How often does trouble come on them?
    How often does God punish them when he’s angry?
¹⁸ How often are they like straw blowing in the wind?
    How often are they like tumbleweeds swept away by a storm?
¹⁹ People say, ‘God stores up the punishment of evil people for their children.’
    But let God punish the evil people themselves.
    Then they’ll learn a lesson from it.
