Bible in Basic English
"Their houses are free from fear, and the rod of God does not come on them."
— Job 21:9, Bible in Basic English
At the very thought of it my flesh is shaking with fear.
Why is life given to the evil-doers? why do they become old and strong in power?
Their children are ever with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
Their houses are free from fear, and the rod of God does not come on them.
Their ox is ready at all times to give seed; their cow gives birth, without dropping her young.
They send out their young ones like a flock, and their children have pleasure in the dance,
They make songs to the instruments of music, and are glad at the sound of the pipe.
