Job 21:17-19
Amplified Bible
17
“How often [then] is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out,
And that their disaster falls on them?
Does God distribute pain and destruction and sorrow [to them] in His anger?(A)
18
“Are they like straw before the wind,
And like chaff that the storm steals and carries away?
19
“You say, ‘God stores away [the punishment of] man’s wickedness for his children.’
Let God repay him so that he may know and experience it.
Job 21:17-19

18 How often are they like straw before the wind,
like chaff(D) swept away(E) by a gale?(F)
19 It is said, ‘God stores up the punishment of the wicked for their children.’(G)
Let him repay the wicked, so that they themselves will experience it!(H)
