Job 21:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ How often are they like straw in the wind
    or like chaff that is blown away by a storm?
¹⁹ It is said, ‘God saves up a person’s punishment for his children.’
    But God should punish the wicked themselves so they will know it.
²⁰ Their eyes should see their own destruction,
    and they should suffer the anger of the Almighty.
