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?
