Job 12:6

12:6 But the tents of robbers are peaceful,

and those who provoke God are confident –

who carry their god in their hands.

Job 12:9

12:9 Which of all these does not know

that the hand of the Lord has done this,

Job 21:7-15

The Wicked Prosper

21:7 “Why do the wicked go on living,

grow old, even increase in power?

21:8 Their children are firmly established

in their presence,

their offspring before their eyes.

21:9 Their houses are safe and without fear;

and no rod of punishment from God is upon them.

21:10 Their bulls breed without fail;

their cows calve and do not miscarry.

21:11 They allow their children to run like a flock;

their little ones dance about.

21:12 They sing to the accompaniment of tambourine and harp,

and make merry to the sound of the flute.

21:13 They live out their years in prosperity

and go down to the grave in peace.

21:14 So they say to God, ‘Turn away from us!

We do not want to know your ways.

21:15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him?

What would we gain

if we were to pray to him?’

Job 22:18

22:18 But it was he who filled their houses

with good things –

yet the counsel of the wicked

was far from me.
