English Standard Version
31 Who declares his way (A)to his face,
and who (B)repays him for what he has done?
32 When he is (C)carried to the grave,
watch is kept over his tomb.
33 (D)The clods of the valley are sweet to him;
(E)all mankind follows after him,
and those who go before him are innumerable.
34 How then will you comfort me with empty nothings?
There is nothing left of your answers but falsehood.”

when (A)the number of their months is cut off?
22 (B)Will any teach God knowledge,
seeing that he (C)judges those who are on high?
23 One dies in his full vigor,
being wholly at ease and secure,

Numbers 5:19-28
English Standard Version
19 Then the priest shall make her take an oath, saying, ‘If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to uncleanness while you were under your husband's authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings the curse. 20 But if you have gone astray, though you are under your husband's authority, and if you have defiled yourself, and some man other than your husband has lain with you, 21 then’ (let the priest make the woman take the oath of the curse, and say to the woman) (A)‘the Lord make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the Lord makes your thigh fall away and your body swell. 22 May this water that brings the curse (B)pass into your bowels and make your womb swell and your thigh fall away.’ And the woman shall say, (C)‘Amen, Amen.’
23 “Then the priest shall write these curses in a book and wash them off into the water of bitterness. 24 And he shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain. 25 And the priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand (D)and shall wave the grain offering before the Lord and bring it to the altar. 26 And the priest (E)shall take a handful of the grain offering, as its memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water. 27 And when he has made her drink the water, then, if she has defiled herself and has broken faith with her husband, the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain, and her womb shall swell, and her thigh shall fall away, and the woman (F)shall become a curse among her people. 28 But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, then she shall be free and shall conceive children.
