Job 21:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 If you consider my plight carefully,
you will have good reason to be appalled
and to place your hand over your mouth.
6 The very thought of it fills me with horror,
and my entire body shudders.
Why Do the Wicked Continue To Survive?[a]
7 “Why do the wicked continue to survive,
achieving old age and increasing in power?
