They send forth their little ones like a flock, And their children dance.

They sing to the timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of the pipe.

And they say unto God, Depart from us; For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

They spend their days in prosperity, And in a moment they go down to Sheol.

Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; Their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.

He shall suck the poison of asps: The viper's tongue shall slay him.

Then Job answered and said,

Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: They that have seen him shall say, Where is he?

Job 20

Though his height mount up to the heavens, And his head reach unto the clouds;

Knowest thou `not' this of old time, Since man was placed upon earth,

His children shall seek the favor of the poor, And his hands shall give back his wealth.

This is the portion of a wicked man from God, And the heritage appointed unto him by God.

Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, Though he hide it under his tongue,

Hear diligently my speech; And let this be your consolations.

All darkness is laid up for his treasures: A fire not blown `by man' shall devour him; It shall consume that which is left in his tent.

His bones are full of his youth, But it shall lie down with him in the dust.

Suffer me, and I also will speak; And after that I have spoken, mock on.

The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, And the earth shall rise up against him.

Though he spare it, and will not let it go, But keep it still within his mouth;

When he is about to fill his belly, `God' will cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, And will rain it upon him while he is eating.

In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: The hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.

That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless but for a moment?

He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.

Wherefore do the wicked live, Become old, yea, wax mighty in power?

The increase of his house shall depart; `His goods' shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

Job 21

Yet his food in his bowels is turned, It is the gall of asps within him.
