Job 21:15-17
American Standard Version

15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
16 [a]Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand:
The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

17 [b]How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out?
That their calamity cometh upon them?
That God distributeth sorrows in his anger?
