Job 21:22-32 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

22. Can anyone teach God knowledge, since He judges the exalted ones?

23. One person dies in excellent health, completely secure and at ease.

24. His body is well fed, and his bones are full of marrow.

25. Yet another person dies with a bitter soul,having never tasted prosperity.

26. But they both lie in the dust,and worms cover them.

27. I know your thoughts very well,the schemes you would wrong me with.

28. For you say, “Where now is the nobleman’s house? ”and “Where are the tents the wicked lived in? ”

29. Have you never consulted those who travel the roads?Don’t you accept their reports?

30. Indeed, the evil man is spared from the day of disaster,rescued from the day of wrath.

31. Who would denounce his behavior to his face?Who would repay him for what he has done?

32. He is carried to the grave,and someone keeps watch over his tomb.
