욥기 21장 [NIV]
-
1 Then Job replied:
-
2 "Listen carefully to my words; let this be the consolation you give me.
-
3 Bear with me while I speak, and after I have spoken, mock on.
-
4 "Is my complaint directed to man? Why should I not be impatient?
-
5 Look at me and be astonished; clap your hand over your mouth.
-
6 When I think about this, I am terrified; trembling seizes my body.
-
7 Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power?
-
8 They see their children established around them, their offspring before their eyes.
-
9 Their homes are safe and free from fear; the rod of God is not upon them.
-
10 Their bulls never fail to breed; their cows calve and do not miscarry.
-
11 They send forth their children as a flock; their little ones dance about.
-
12 They sing to the music of tambourine and harp; they make merry to the sound of the flute.
-
13 They spend their years in prosperity and go down to the grave in peace.
-
14 Yet they say to God, Leave us alone! We have no desire to know your ways.
-
15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What would we gain by praying to him?
-
16 But their prosperity is not in their own hands, so I stand aloof from the counsel of the wicked.
-
17 "Yet how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out? How often does calamity come upon them, the fate God allots in his anger?
-
18 How often are they like straw before the wind, like chaff swept away by a gale?
-
19 It is said,God stores up a mans punishment for his sons. Let him repay the man himself, so that he will know it!
-
20 Let his own eyes see his destruction; let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
-
21 For what does he care about the family he leaves behind when his allotted months come to an end?
-
22 "Can anyone teach knowledge to God, since he judges even the highest?
-
23 One man dies in full vigor, completely secure and at ease,
-
24 his body well nourished, his bones rich with marrow.
-
25 Another man dies in bitterness of soul, never having enjoyed anything good.
-
26 Side by side they lie in the dust, and worms cover them both.
-
27 "I know full well what you are thinking, the schemes by which you would wrong me.
-
28 You say, Where now is the great mans house, the tents where wicked men lived?
-
29 Have you never questioned those who travel? Have you paid no regard to their accounts--
-
30 that the evil man is spared from the day of calamity, that he is delivered from the day of wrath?
-
31 Who denounces his conduct to his face? Who repays him for what he has done?
-
32 He is carried to the grave, and watch is kept over his tomb.
-
33 The soil in the valley is sweet to him; all men follow after him, and a countless throng goes before him.
-
34 "So how can you console me with your nonsense? Nothing is left of your answers but falsehood!"
