Job 21:21

Job 21:21

Compare all

19 They say, ‘God¹ lays up one’s iniquity ^afor his children’;
Let Him recompense him, that he may know it.

20 Let his eyes see his destruction,
And ^alet him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

21 For what does he care about his household after him,
When the number of his months is cut in half?

22 “Can^a anyone teach God knowledge,
Since He judges those on high?

23 One dies in his full strength,
Being wholly at ease and secure;

24 His¹ pails are full of milk,
And the marrow of his bones is moist.

25 Another man dies in the bitterness of his soul,
Never having eaten with pleasure.

For, etc. - What delight can ye take in the thoughts of his posterity, when he is dying an untimely death? When that number of months, which by the course of nature, he might have lived, is cut off by violence.
