Job 21:7–16, “Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power? Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them. Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ. They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.”
Job asked his friends some important question to force them to think about their theory. They had been telling Job that he was suffering because he was a bad man. After all, they said, only bad people suffer and good things happen to good people. Job pointed out that some bad people grow old and their children inherit all the things that they have taken for themselves. How can this be? These bad men prosper as farmers and their business ventures succeed. They refuse to accept that God is in control and that God should be obeyed.
