Job 21:19-21
Good News Translation
19 You claim God punishes a child for the sins of his father.
No! Let God punish the sinners themselves;
let him show that he does it because of their sins.
20 Let sinners bear their own punishment;
let them feel the wrath of Almighty God.
21 When our lives are over,
do we really care whether our children are happy?
Job 21:19-21
New International Version
19 It is said, ‘God stores up the punishment of the wicked for their children.’(A)
Let him repay the wicked, so that they themselves will experience it!(B)
20 Let their own eyes see their destruction;(C)
let them drink(D) the cup of the wrath of the Almighty.(E)
21 For what do they care about the families they leave behind(F)
when their allotted months(G) come to an end?(H)
