Job 21:22-33

22Shall any teachH3925 GodH410 knowledgeH1847? seeing he judgethH8199 those that are highH7311.

23One diethH4191 in his fullH8537 strengthH6106, being wholly at easeH7946 and quietH7961.1

24His breastsH5845 are fullH4390 of milkH2461, and his bonesH6106 are moistenedH8248 with marrowH4221.2

25And another diethH4191 in the bitternessH4751 of his soulH5315, and never eatethH398 with pleasureH2896.

26They shall lie downH7901 alikeH3162 in the dustH6083, and the wormsH7415 shall coverH3680 them.

27Behold, I knowH3045 your thoughtsH4284, and the devicesH4209 which ye wrongfully imagineH2554 against me.

28For ye sayH559, Where is the houseH1004 of the princeH5081? and where are the dwellingH4908 placesH168 of the wickedH7563?3

29Have ye not askedH7592 them that goH5674 by the wayH1870? and do ye not knowH5234 their tokensH226,

30That the wickedH7451 is reservedH2820 to the dayH3117 of destructionH343? they shall be brought forthH2986 to the dayH3117 of wrathH5678.4

31Who shall declareH5046 his wayH1870 to his faceH6440? and who shall repayH7999 him what he hath doneH6213?

32Yet shall he be broughtH2986 to the graveH6913, and shall remainH8245 in the tombH1430.56

33The clodsH7263 of the valleyH5158 shall be sweetH4985 unto him, and every manH120 shall drawH4900 afterH310 him, as there are innumerableH4557 beforeH6440 him.
