Job 21:18
King James VersionSource notes
“They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.”
Context
15What the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
16Lo, their good not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and cometh their destruction upon them! distributeth sorrows in his anger.
18They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
19God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know
20His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21For what pleasure he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
