Job 21:17-19

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ “How often is the lamp of the wicked put out?
    How often does calamity come upon them?
    How often does God^[a] distribute pains in his anger?
¹⁸ How often are they like straw before the wind,
    and like chaff that the storm carries away?
¹⁹ You say, ‘God stores up their iniquity for their children.’
    Let it be paid back to them, so that they may know it.
