Job 21:7-15

7  a Why do the wicked live,
reach old age, and grow mighty in power?
 8 Their b offspring are established in their presence,
and their descendants before their eyes.
 9 Their houses are c safe from fear,
and d no rod of God is upon them.
 10 Their bull breeds without fail;
their cow calves and e does not miscarry.
 11 They send out their f little boys like a flock,
and their children dance.
 12 They sing to g the tambourine and h the lyre
and rejoice to the sound of i the pipe.
 13 They j spend their days in prosperity,
and in k peace they go down to l Sheol.
 14 They say to God m ‘Depart from us!
We do not desire the knowledge of your ways.
 15  n What is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
And what o profit do we get if we pray to him?’
