Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? No one else on earth is like him, a man of perfect integrity, who fears God and turns away from evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited me against him, to destroy him for no good reason." (Job 2:3 CSB)
Don't you know that ever since antiquity, from the time a human was placed on earth, the joy of the wicked has been brief and the happiness of the godless has lasted only a moment? (Job 20:4-5 CSB)
Zophar the Naamathite believed in karma. He said that Job was suffering because he had done something wicked and he was now suffering the consequences.
Job said that karma was not true. He said the wicked continue to prosper even though they were wicked and he was suffering even when he did nothing wrong. So he wanted to take up his case with God.
Why do the wicked continue to live, growing old and becoming powerful? Their children are established while they are still alive, their homes are secure and free of fear; no rod from God strikes them. (Job 21:7-9 CSB)
"Rabbi," his disciples asked him, "why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents' sins?" (John 9:2 NLT)
