Job 21:18 in Context — Job 21

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.

19 [Vós dizeis] : Deus guarda sua violência para seus filhos. Que [Deus] pague ao próprio [perverso] ,para que o conheça.

20 Seus olhos vejam sua ruína, e beba da ira do Todo-Poderoso.
