Job 21:27-33

27“Behold, I know your thoughts, And the plots you devise against me.28For you say, ‘Where is the house of 1the nobleman, And where is the 2tent, the dwelling places of the wicked?’29Have you not asked travelers, And do you not examine their 3evidence?30For the 4wicked person is spared 5a day of disaster; They 6are led away from 7a day of fury.31Who 8confronts him with his actions, And who repays him for what he has done?32When he is carried to the grave, People will keep watch over his tomb.33The 9clods of the valley will 10gently cover him; Moreover, 11all mankind will 12follow after him, While countless others go before him.
