Job 21:22-33

22“Can anyone teach God knowledge? Can anyone judge the Most High?

23One person dies in his prime and feels altogether happy and contented.

24His stomach is full of milk, and his bones are strong and healthy.

25Another person, never having tasted happiness, dies with a bitter soul.

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

27“You see, I know your thoughts and the schemes you plot against me

28because you ask, ‘Where is the house of the influential person? Where is the tent where wicked people live?’

29Haven’t you asked travelers? But you didn’t pay attention to their directions.

30On the day of disaster the wicked person is spared. On the day of ⌞God’s⌟ anger he is rescued.

31Who will tell him to his face how he lived? Who will pay him back for what he did?

32He is carried to the cemetery, and his grave is guarded.

33The soil in the creekbed is sweet to him. Everyone follows him. Countless others went before him.
