Job 21:17 - The Message

"Still, how often does it happen that the wicked fail,
   or disaster strikes,
   or they get their just deserts?
How often are they blown away by bad luck?
   Not very often.
You might say, ’God is saving up the punishment for their children.’
   I say, ’Give it to them right now so they’ll know what
      they’ve done!’
They deserve to experience the effects of their evil,
   feel the full force of God’s wrath firsthand.
What do they care what happens to their families
   after they’re safely tucked away in the grave?
