Job 21:8-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 21
8Their descendants endure with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes, 9Their houses are safe from fear, And the rod of God is not on them. 10His ox mates without fail; His cow calves and does not miscarry. 11They send out their boys like the flock, And their children dance. 12They sing with the tambourine and harp, And rejoice at the sound of the flute. 13They spend their days in prosperity, And suddenly they go down to Sheol. 14Yet they say to God, ‘Go away from us! We do not even desire the knowledge of Your ways. 15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him, And what would we gain if we plead with Him?’King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 21
8Their children are established while they are still alive, and their descendants, before their eyes. 9Their homes are secure and free of fear; no rod from God strikes them. 10Their bulls breed without fail; their cows calve and do not miscarry. 11They let their little ones run around like lambs; their children skip about, 12singing to the tambourine and lyre and rejoicing at the sound of the flute. 13They spend their days in prosperity and go down to Sheol in peace. 14Yet they say to God, "Leave us alone! We don’t want to know your ways. 15Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him, and what will we gain by pleading with him?"New Living Translation
Chapter 21
8They live to see their children grow up and settle down, and they enjoy their grandchildren. 9Their homes are safe from every fear, and God does not punish them. 10Their bulls never fail to breed. Their cows bear calves and never miscarry. 11They let their children frisk about like lambs. Their little ones skip and dance. 12They sing with tambourine and harp. They celebrate to the sound of the flute. 13They spend their days in prosperity, then go down to the grave in peace. 14And yet they say to God, ‘Go away. We want no part of you and your ways. 15Who is the Almighty, and why should we obey him? What good will it do us to pray?’English Standard Version
Chapter 21
8Their offspring are established in their presence, and their descendants before their eyes. 9Their houses are safe from fear, and no rod of God is upon them. 10Their bull breeds without fail; their cow calves and does not miscarry. 11They send out their little boys like a flock, and their children dance. 12They sing to the tambourine and the lyre and rejoice to the sound of the pipe. 13They spend their days in prosperity, and in peace they go down to Sheol. 14They say to God, ‘Depart from us! We do not desire the knowledge of your ways. 15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit do we get if we pray to him?’New International Version
Chapter 21
8They see their children established around them, their offspring before their eyes. 9Their homes are safe and free from fear; the rod of God is not on them. 10Their bulls never fail to breed; their cows calve and do not miscarry. 11They send forth their children as a flock; their little ones dance about. 12They sing to the music of timbrel and lyre; they make merry to the sound of the pipe. 13They spend their years in prosperity and go down to the grave in peace. 14Yet they say to God, ‘Leave us alone! We have no desire to know your ways. 15Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What would we gain by praying to him?’New King James Version
