The Morning Psalm

Job 21:19

King James Version

God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
Job 21:19, KJV

Job 21:19 in context

17How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.

18They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

19God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.

20His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

21For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
