Job 18:5-21
“ The lamp of a wicked man is snuffed out; the flame of his fire stops burning.The light in his tent becomes dark; the lamp beside him goes out.The vigor of his step is weakened; his own schemes throw him down.His feet thrust him into a net; he wanders into its mesh.A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare holds him fast.A noose is hidden for him on the ground; a trap lies in his path.Terrors startle him on every side and dog his every step.Calamity is hungry for him; disaster is ready for him when he falls.It eats away parts of his skin; death’s firstborn devours his limbs.He is torn from the security of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors.Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling.His roots dry up below and his branches wither above.The memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name in the land.He is driven from light into the realm of darkness and is banished from the world.He has no offspring or descendants among his people, no survivor where once he lived.People of the west are appalled at his fate; those of the east are seized with horror.Surely such is the dwelling of an evil man; such is the place of one who does not know God.” (niv)

Job 21:27-34
“ I know full well what you are thinking, the schemes by which you would wrong me.You say,‘ Where now is the house of the great, the tents where the wicked lived?’Have you never questioned those who travel? Have you paid no regard to their accounts—that the wicked are spared from the day of calamity, that they are delivered from the day of wrath?Who denounces their conduct to their face? Who repays them for what they have done?They are carried to the grave, and watch is kept over their tombs.The soil in the valley is sweet to them; everyone follows after them, and a countless throng goes before them.“ So how can you console me with your nonsense? Nothing is left of your answers but falsehood!” (niv)

Job 22:6-30
You demanded security from your relatives for no reason; you stripped people of their clothing, leaving them naked.You gave no water to the weary and you withheld food from the hungry,though you were a powerful man, owning land— an honored man, living on it.And you sent widows away empty-handed and broke the strength of the fatherless.That is why snares are all around you, why sudden peril terrifies you,why it is so dark you cannot see, and why a flood of water covers you.“ Is not God in the heights of heaven? And see how lofty are the highest stars!Yet you say,‘ What does God know? Does he judge through such darkness?Thick clouds veil him, so he does not see us as he goes about in the vaulted heavens.’Will you keep to the old path that the wicked have trod?They were carried off before their time, their foundations washed away by a flood.They said to God,‘ Leave us alone! What can the Almighty do to us?’Yet it was he who filled their houses with good things, so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.The righteous see their ruin and rejoice; the innocent mock them, saying,‘ Surely our foes are destroyed, and fire devours their wealth.’“ Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you.Accept instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart.If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored: If you remove wickedness far from your tentand assign your nuggets to the dust, your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines,then the Almighty will be your gold, the choicest silver for you.Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty and will lift up your face to God.You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways.When people are brought low and you say,‘ Lift them up!’ then he will save the downcast.He will deliver even one who is not innocent, who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.” (niv)

Job 4:7-11
“ Consider now: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Where were the upright ever destroyed?As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it.At the breath of God they perish; at the blast of his anger they are no more.The lions may roar and growl, yet the teeth of the great lions are broken.The lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

Job 5:1-5
“ Call if you will, but who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple.I myself have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly his house was cursed.His children are far from safety, crushed in court without a defender.The hungry consume his harvest, taking it even from among thorns, and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
