How long we will blame GOD as the one who pervert justice?
Job 15: 14 What is man, that he could be pure or one born of woman that he could be righteous?
15) If God places NO TRUST in his holy ones, if even the HEAVENS ARE NOT PURE in HIS EYES, (16) how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks up evil like water!
20)All his days the wicked man suffers torment, the ruthless through all the years stored up for him.
21)Terrifying sounds fill his ears; when all seems well, marauders attack him. 22)He despairs of escaping the darkness; he is marked for the sword.
23)He wanders about -food for vultures; he knows the day of darkness is at hand. 24)Distress and anguish fill him with terror; they overwhelm him, like a king poised to attack, 25)because he shakes his fist at God and vaunts himself against the Almighty, 26)defiantly charging against Him with a thick, strong shield.
27)Though his face is covered with fat and his waist bulges with flesh, 28)he will inhabit ruined towns and houses where no one lives, houses crumbling to rubble.
29)He will no longer be rich and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread over the land. 30)He will not escape the darkness; a flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God's mouth will carry him away.
31)Let him not deceive himself by TRUSTING WHAT IS WORTHLESS for he will get nothing in return. 32)Before his time he will be paid in full, and his branches will not flourish. 33)He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree shedding its blossoms. 34)For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of those who love bribes.
35)They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb fashion deceit.
Job 18: 4 You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger, is the earth to be abandoned for your sake?...
5) The lamp of the wicked is snuffed out; the flame of his fire stops burning. 6)The light in his tent becomes dark; the lamp beside him goes out. 7)The vigor of his step is weakened, his own schemes throw him down. 8)His feet thrust him into a net and he wanders into a mesh. 9)A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare holds him fast. 10)A noose is hidden for him on the ground; a trap lies in his path.
11)Terrors startle him on every side and dog his every step. 12)Calamity is hungry for him; disaster is ready for him when he falls. 12)It eats away parts of his skin; death's firstborn devours his limbs.
14)He is torn from the security of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors. 15)Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling. 16)His roots dried up below and his branches wither above. 17)The memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name in the land. 18)He is driven from light into darkness and is banished from the world. 19)He has no offspring or descendants among his people, no survivor where once he lived.
20)Men of the WEST are appalled at his fate; Men of the EAST are seized with horror. 21)Surely such is the dwelling of an evil man; such is the place of ONE WHO KNOWS NOT GOD.
