Job 21:16 in Context — Job 21

14 Assim dizem a Deus: Afasta-te de nós, porque não queremos conhecer teus caminhos.

15 Quem é o Todo-Poderoso, para que o sirvamos? E de que nos aproveitará que oremos a ele?

16 Eis que sua prosperidade não se deve às mãos deles. Longe de mim esteja o conselho dos perversos!

17 Quantas vezes sucede que a lâmpada dos perversos se apaga, e sua perdição vem sobre eles, [e] Deus em sua ira [lhes] reparte dores?

18 Eles serão como palha diante do vento, como o restos de palha que o turbilhão arrebata.
