Job 21:1-6

Job Replies: The Wicked Do Prosper

1 Then Job answered and said:

2 ^a“Keep listening to my words,
and let this be your comfort.
3 Bear with me, and I will speak,
and after I have spoken, ^bmock on.
4 As for me, is my ^ccomplaint against man?
Why should I not be impatient?
5 Look at me and be appalled,
and ^dlay your hand over your mouth.
6 When I remember, I am dismayed,
and shuddering seizes my flesh.
