Job 21:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ How often are they like straw blowing in the wind?
    How often are they like tumbleweeds swept away by a storm?
¹⁹ People say, ‘God stores up the punishment of evil people for their children.’
    But let God punish the evil people themselves.
    Then they’ll learn a lesson from it.
²⁰ Let their own eyes see how they are destroyed.
    Let them drink the wine of the Mighty One’s anger.
