Job 21:22-33

22Will any teach God knowledge, seeing that he judges those who are on high?

23One dies in his full vigor, being wholly at ease and secure,

24his pails full of milk and the marrow of his bones moist.

25Another dies in bitterness of soul, never having tasted of prosperity.

26They lie down alike in the dust, and the worms cover them.

27"Behold, I know your thoughts and your schemes to wrong me.

28For you say, 'Where is the house of the prince? Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?'

29Have you not asked those who travel the roads, and do you not accept their testimony

30that the evil man is spared in the day of calamity, that he is rescued in the day of wrath?

31Who declares his way to his face, and who repays him for what he has done?

32When he is carried to the grave, watch is kept over his tomb.

33The clods of the valley are sweet to him; all mankind follows after him, and those who go before him are innumerable.
