Job 21:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ The success of the wicked is not their own doing.
    Their way of thinking is different from mine.
¹⁷ Yet how often are the lamps of evil people turned off?
    How often does trouble come to them?
    How often do they suffer God’s angry punishment?
¹⁸ How often are they like straw in the wind
    or like chaff that is blown away by a storm?
