Job 21:27-34

View Full Chapter

27“I know full well what you are thinking, the schemes by which you would wrong me.

28You say, ‘Where now is the house of the great, the tents where the wicked lived?’

29Have you never questioned those who travel? Have you paid no regard to their accounts—

30that the wicked are spared from the day of calamity, that they are delivered from Or wicked are reserved for the day of calamity, / that they are brought forth to the day of wrath?

31Who denounces their conduct to their face? Who repays them for what they have done?

32They are carried to the grave, and watch is kept over their tombs.

33The soil in the valley is sweet to them; everyone follows after them, and a countless throng goes Or them, / as a countless throng went before them. 34“So how can you console me with your nonsense? Nothing is left of your answers but falsehood!”
