Job 21:5-9 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. Listen to me and be astonished, and place a finger over your mouth.

6. As for me, when I think it over, I am afraid, and trembling convulses my body.

7. Why then do the impious live, having been lifted up and strengthened with riches?

8. They see their offspring continue before them: a commotion of close relatives and of children's children in their sight.

9. Their houses have been secure and peaceable, and there is no staff of God over them.
