1 Then Job answered:
2 “Listen carefully to my words; let this be your consolation to me.
3 Bear with me while I speak; then, after I have spoken, you may go on mocking.
4 Is my complaint against a man? Then why should I not be impatient?
5 Look at me and be appalled; put your hand over your mouth.

7 Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power?
8 Their descendants are established around them, and their offspring before their eyes.
9 Their homes are safe from fear; no rod of punishment from God is upon them.
