Job 21:18

Job's Seventh Speech: A Response To Zophar

¹⁷ "How often do the wicked have their lights put out? Does calamity ever fall on them? Will God in his anger ever apportion their destruction? ¹⁸ May they become like a straw, blown away before the wind; like a chaff that's swept off by a storm. ¹⁹ God stores up their iniquity to repay their children; making them repay so that they may be aware.
