Job 21:23-34 ▼

23 One shall die in his perfect strength, and wholly at ease and prosperous;

24 and his inwards are full of fat, and his marrow is diffused throughout him .

25 And another dies in bitterness of soul, not eating any good thing.

26 But they lie down in the earth together, and corruption covers them.

27 So I know you, that ye presumptuously attack me:

28 so that ye will say, Where is the house of the prince? and where is the covering of the tabernacles of the ungodly?

29 Ask those that go by the way, and do not disown their tokens.

30 For the wicked hastens to the day of destruction: they shall be led away for the day of his vengeance.

31 Who will tell him his way to his face, whereas he has done it ? who shall recompense him?

32 And he has been led away to the tombs, and he has watched over the heaps.

33 The stones of the valley have been sweet to him, and every man shall depart after him, and there are innumerable ones before him.

34 How then do ye comfort me in vain? whereas I have no rest from your molestation.
