New Testament

Job 21:3-13 Modern English Version (MEV)

3. Bear with me that I may speak,and after I have spoken, mock on.

4. “As for me, is my complaint against man?And if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?

5. Look at me and be astonished,and put your hand over your mouth.

6. Even when I remember I am afraid,and trembling takes hold of my body.

7. Why do the wicked live and become old;yes, become mighty in power?

8. Their descendants are established with them in their sight,and their offspring before their eyes.

9. Their houses are safe from fear,nor is the rod of God upon them.

10. Their bull breeds without failure;their cow gives calves without miscarriage.

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

12. They take up the tambourine and harpand rejoice at the sound of the flute.

13. They spend their days in wealth,and in a moment go down to Sheol.
