Job 21:17-21

How oft is the candle
<05216>

of the wicked
<07563>

put out
<01846> (8799)_!

and [how oft] cometh
<0935> (8799)

their destruction
<0343>

upon them! [God] distributeth
<02505> (8762)

sorrows
<02256>

in his anger
<0639>_.

{candle: or, lamp}

They are as stubble
<08401>

before
<06440>

the wind
<07307>_,

and as chaff
<04671>

that the storm
<05492>

carrieth away
<01589> (8804)_.

{carrieth: Heb. stealeth}

God
<0433>

layeth up
<06845> (8799)

his iniquity
<0205>

for his children
<01121>_:

he rewardeth
<07999> (8762)

him, and he shall know
<03045> (8799)

[it]. {his iniquity: that is, the punishment of his iniquity}

His eyes
<05869>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

his destruction
<03589>_,

and he shall drink
<08354> (8799)

of the wrath
<02534>

of the Almighty
<07706>_.

For what pleasure
<02656>

[hath] he in his house
<01004>

after
<0310>

him, when the number
<04557>

of his months
<02320>

is cut off in the midst
<02686> (8795)_?
