Job 21:27-33
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Job 21:27-33
Holman Christian Standard Bible
27 I know your thoughts very well,
the schemes you would wrong me with.
28 For you say, “Where now is the nobleman’s house?”
and “Where are the tents(A) the wicked lived in?”
29 Have you never consulted those who travel the roads?
Don’t you accept their reports?[a]
30 Indeed, the evil man is spared from the day of disaster,
rescued from the day of wrath.
31 Who would denounce his behavior to his face?
Who would repay(B) him for what he has done?
32 He is carried to the grave,
and someone keeps watch over his tomb.
33 The dirt on his grave is[b] sweet to him.
Everyone follows behind him,
and those who go before him are without number.
Job 21:27-33
New Living Translation
Job 21:27-33
New Living Translation
27 “Look, I know what you’re thinking.
I know the schemes you plot against me.
28 You will tell me of rich and wicked people
whose houses have vanished because of their sins.
29 But ask those who have been around,
and they will tell you the truth.
30 Evil people are spared in times of calamity
and are allowed to escape disaster.
31 No one criticizes them openly
or pays them back for what they have done.
32 When they are carried to the grave,
an honor guard keeps watch at their tomb.
33 A great funeral procession goes to the cemetery.
Many pay their respects as the body is laid to rest,
and the earth gives sweet repose.
Job 21:27-33
New International Version
Job 21:27-33
New International Version
27 “I know full well what you are thinking,
the schemes by which you would wrong me.
28 You say, ‘Where now is the house of the great,(A)
the tents where the wicked lived?’(B)
29 Have you never questioned those who travel?
Have you paid no regard to their accounts—
30 that the wicked are spared from the day of calamity,(C)
that they are delivered from[a] the day of wrath?(D)
31 Who denounces their conduct to their face?
Who repays them for what they have done?(E)
32 They are carried to the grave,
and watch is kept over their tombs.(F)
33 The soil in the valley is sweet to them;(G)
everyone follows after them,
and a countless throng goes[b] before them.(H)
