Job 21:22-33

22Can anyone teach God knowledge, Seeing that He judges those on high?

23One dies in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and quiet and satisfied;

24His pails are full of milk [his sides are filled out with fat], And the marrow of his bones is moist,

25Whereas another dies with a bitter soul, Never even tasting pleasure or good fortune.

26Together they lie down in the dust, And the worms cover them.

27“Behold, I know your thoughts, And the plots by which you would wrong me.

28For you say, ‘Where is the house of the noble man? And where is the tent, the dwelling place of the wicked?’

29Have you not asked those who travel this way, And do you not recognize their witness?

30That evil men are [now] reserved for the day of disaster and destruction, They will be led away on the day of [God’s] wrath?

31But who will confront him with his actions and rebuke him face to face, And who will repay him for what he has done?

32When he is carried to his grave, A guard will keep watch over his tomb.

33The [dirt] clods of the valley are sweet to him [and gently cover him], Moreover, all men will follow after him [to a grave], While countless ones go before him.
