Berean Standard Bible
Job 21:17
“How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? Does disaster come upon them? Does God, in His anger, apportion destruction?”
In context
15Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him, and what would we gain if we pray to Him?’
16Still, their prosperity is not in their own hands, so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked.
17How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? Does disaster come upon them? Does God, in His anger, apportion destruction?
18Are they like straw before the wind, like chaff swept away by a storm?
