Job 21:22-26
New International Version
22 “Can anyone teach knowledge to God,(A)
since he judges even the highest?(B)
23 One person dies in full vigor,(C)
completely secure and at ease,(D)
24 well nourished(E) in body,[a]
bones(F) rich with marrow.(G)
25 Another dies in bitterness of soul,(H)
never having enjoyed anything good.
26 Side by side they lie in the dust,(I)
and worms(J) cover them both.(K)

22 Can anyone teach God knowledge,(A)
since he judges the exalted ones?[a]
23 One person dies in excellent health,[b]
completely secure[c] and at ease.
24 His body is[d] well fed,[e]
and his bones are full of marrow.[f]
25 Yet another person dies with a bitter(B) soul,
having never tasted prosperity.
26 But they both lie in the dust,
and worms cover them.(C)
Job 21:22-26
King James Version
22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
23 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
24 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
25 And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
26 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
