|
14 You have said, 'It is vain to serve God. What is the good of our keeping his charge or of walking as in mourning before the LORD of hosts?
|
14 "You have said, 'It is futile to serve God. What did we gain by carrying out his requirements and going about like mourners before the LORD Almighty?
|
|
15 Henceforth we deem the arrogant blessed; evildoers not only prosper but when they put God to the test they escape.'"
|
15 But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly the evildoers prosper, and even those who challenge God escape.' "
