## Job 21:12-17 in Context (Verses 9–20 KJV)
 
 [9 ](/kjv/job/21/9) Their houses *are* safe from fear, neither *is* the rod of God upon them.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/job/21/10) Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/job/21/11) They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/job/21/12) They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/job/21/13) They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/job/21/14) Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/job/21/15) What *is* the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
 
 [16 ](/kjv/job/21/16) Lo, their good *is* not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/job/21/17) How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and *how oft* cometh their destruction upon them! *God* distributeth sorrows in his anger.*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/job/21/18) They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/job/21/19) God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know *it*.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/job/21/20) His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
 
[Job 20](/kjv/job/20) [Job 22](/kjv/job/22)
