Job 21:22-33

Can anyone ^ateach God knowledge,

In that He ^bjudges those on high?

One ^adies in his full strength,

Being wholly carefree and at ease;

His ¹sides are filled out with fat,

And the ^amarrow of his bones is moist,

But another dies with a bitter soul,

Never even eats anything good.

Together they ^alie down in the dust,

And ^bworms cover them.

“Behold, I know your thoughts,

And the plans by which you do violence against me.

For you say, ‘Where is the house of ^athe nobleman,

And where is the ^btent, the dwelling places of the wicked?’

Have you not asked those who pass by along the way,

And do you not recognize their ¹witness?

That the ^awicked is reserved for the day of disaster;

They will be led forth at ^bthe day of fury.

Who will declare to his face about his actions,

And who will repay him for what he has done?

While he is led forth to the grave,

Men will keep watch over his tomb.

The ^aclods of the valley will ¹gently cover him;

Moreover, ^ball men will draw up after him,

While countless ones go before him.

Job 24:22-25

But He drags off the mighty by ^aHis power;

He rises, but ^bno one believes in his life.

He provides them ^awith security, and they are supported;

And His ^beyes are on their ways.

They are exalted a ^alittle while, then they are gone;

Moreover, they are ^bbrought low and like everything gathered up;

Even like the heads of grain they are cut off.

Now if it is not so, ^awho can prove me a liar,

And make my speech worthless?”
