Job 21:14

¹² singing to the tambourine and lyre and making merry at the sound of the flute.

¹³ They spend their days in prosperity and go down to Sheol in peace.

Yet they say to God: ‘Leave us alone! For we have no desire to know Your ways.

¹⁵ Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him, and what would we gain if we pray to Him?’

¹⁶ Still, their prosperity is not in their own hands, so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked.
