Job 21:18 Context
16Loe, their good is not in their hand, the counsell of the wicked is farre from me. 17How oft is the candle of the wicked put out? and how oft commeth their destruction vpon them? God distributeth sorrowes in his anger. 18They are as stubble before the winde, and as chaffe that the storme carieth away. 19God layeth vp his iniquitie for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it. 20His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drinke of the wrath of the Almightie.
