Job 21:7-15
“ Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?Their child is established with them in their sight, their offspring before their eyes.Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.Their bulls breed without fail. Their cows calve, and don’t miscarry.They send out their little ones like a flock. Their children dance.They sing to the tambourine and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.They spend their days in prosperity. In an instant they go down to Sheol.They tell God,‘ Depart from us, for we don’t want to know about your ways.What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What profit should we have, if we pray to him?’

For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.For there are no struggles in their death, but their strength is firm.They are free from burdens of men, neither are they plagued like other men.Therefore pride is like a chain around their neck. Violence covers them like a garment.Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.
