Job 21:8

JusticeParents and children

6 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?

Their descendants are established around them, and their offspring before their eyes.

9 Their homes are safe from fear; no rod of punishment from God is upon them.

10 Their bulls breed without fail; their cows bear calves and do not miscarry.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
