Job 21:17-21
King James Version
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 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
19 God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?

Job 21:17-21
New King James Version
17 “How often is the lamp of the wicked put out?
How often does their destruction come upon them,
The sorrows God (A)distributes in His anger?
18 (B)They are like straw before the wind,
And like chaff that a storm [a]carries away.
19 They say, ‘God [b]lays up [c]one’s iniquity (C)for his children’;
Let Him recompense him, that he may know it.
20 Let his eyes see his destruction,
And (D)let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21 For what does he care about his household after him,
When the number of his months is cut in half?
Job 24:18-21
King James Version
18 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
21 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.

Job 24:18-21
New King James Version
18 “They should be swift on the face of the waters,
Their portion should be cursed in the earth,
So that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards.
19 As drought and heat [a]consume the snow waters,
So [b]the grave consumes those who have sinned.
20 The womb should forget him,
The worm should feed sweetly on him;
(A)He should be remembered no more,
And wickedness should be broken like a tree.
21 For he [c]preys on the barren who do not bear,
And does no good for the widow.
