Job 21:23-33

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

23“One dies in his full strength,

Being wholly undisturbed and at ease;

24His sides are filled with fat,

And the marrow of his bones is wet,

25While another dies with a bitter soul,

Never even tasting anything good.

26“Together they lie down in the dust,

And maggots cover them.

27“Behold, I know your thoughts,

And the plots you devise against me.

28“For you say, ‘Where is the house of the nobleman,

And where is the tent, the dwelling places of the wicked?’

29“Have you not asked travelers,

And do you not examine their evidence?

30“For the wicked person is spared a day of disaster;

They are led away from a day of fury.

31“Who confronts him with his actions,

And who repays him for what he has done?

32“When he is carried to the grave,

People will keep watch over his tomb.

33“The clods of the valley will gently cover him;

Moreover, all mankind will follow after him,

While countless others go before him.
