BUT Job answered and said,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013833">2</a>. Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013834">3</a>. Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013835">4</a>. As for me, is my complaint to man?  and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013836">5</a>. Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013837">6</a>. Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013838">7</a>. Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013839">8</a>. Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013840">9</a>. Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013841">10</a>. Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013842">11</a>. They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013843">12</a>. They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013844">13</a>. They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013845">14</a>. Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013846">15</a>. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him?  and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013847">16</a>. Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013848">17</a>. How oft is the candle of the wicked put out!  and how oft cometh their destruction upon them!  God distributeth sorrows in his anger.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013849">18</a>. They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013850">19</a>. God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013851">20</a>. His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013852">21</a>. For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013853">22</a>. Shall any teach God knowledge?  seeing he judgeth those that are high.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013854">23</a>. One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013855">24</a>. His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013856">25</a>. And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013857">26</a>. They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013858">27</a>. Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013859">28</a>. For ye say, Where is the house of the prince?  and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013860">29</a>. Have ye not asked them that go by the way?  and do ye not know their tokens,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013861">30</a>. That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction?  they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013862">31</a>. Who shall declare his way to his face?  and who shall repay him what he hath done?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013863">32</a>. Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013864">33</a>. The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013865">34</a>. How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?</li>
