Job 21:6
4 Is my complaint against a man? Then why should I not be impatient?
5 Look at me and be appalled; put your hand over your mouth.
When I remember, terror takes hold, and my body trembles in horror.
7 Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power?
8 Their descendants are established around them, and their offspring before their eyes.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
