Job 21:7-15

7 ^cWhy do the wicked live,
reach old age, and grow mighty in power?
8 Their ^doffspring are established in their presence,
and their descendants before their eyes.
9 Their houses are ^esafe from fear,
and ^fno rod of God is upon them.
10 Their bull breeds without fail;
their cow calves and ^gdoes not miscarry.
11 They send out their ^hlittle boys like a flock,
and their children dance.
12 They sing to ⁱthe tambourine and ^jthe lyre
and rejoice to the sound of ^kthe pipe.
13 They ^lspend their days in prosperity,
and in ^mpeace they go down to ⁿSheol.
14 They say to God, ^o‘Depart from us!
We do not desire the knowledge of your ways.
15 ^pWhat is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
And what ^qprofit do we get if we pray to him?’

Job 21:30

but the root of the righteous bears fruit.

Ecclesiastes 9:1-2

Death Comes to All

1 But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, ^thow the righteous and the wise and their deeds are ^uin the hand of God. Whether it is love or hate, man does not know; both are before him. 2 ^vIt is the same for all, since ^wthe same event happens to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew lacks and the evil} to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As the good one is, so is the sinner, and he who ^yswears is as he who shuns an oath.

Jeremiah 12:1-2

Jeremiah’s Complaint

1 ^zRighteous are you, O Lord,
when I complain to you;
yet I would plead my case before you.
^aaWhy does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all ^abwho are treacherous thrive?
2 You plant them, and they take root;
they grow and produce fruit;
^acyou are near in their mouth
and far from their heart.

Malachi 2:17

The Messenger of the Lord

17 ^adYou have wearied the Lord with your words. ^aeBut you say, “How have we wearied him?” ^afBy saying, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delights in them.” Or by asking, ^ag“Where is the God of justice?”
