27 “Behold, I know your thoughts,
    and the schemes with which you would wrong me.
28 For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince?
    And where are the dwelling places of the wicked?’
29 Have you not asked them who travel the road?
    And do you not know their signs?
30 For the wicked are reserved for the day of destruction;
    they will be brought forth on the day of wrath.
31 Who will declare his way to his face?
    And who will repay him for what he has done?
32 Yet will he be brought to the grave
    and will remain in the tomb.
33 The clods of the valley will be sweet unto him;
    and everyone will follow him,
    as countless have gone before.

27 “Look, I know your thoughts,
And the schemes with which you would wrong me.
28 For you say,
‘Where is the house of the prince?
And where is [a]the tent,
The dwelling place of the wicked?’
29 Have you not asked those who travel the road?
And do you not know their signs?
30 (A)For the wicked are reserved for the day of doom;
They shall be brought out on the day of wrath.
31 Who condemns his way to his face?
And who repays him for what he has done?
32 Yet he shall be brought to the grave,
And a vigil kept over the tomb.
33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him;
(B)Everyone shall follow him,
As countless have gone before him.

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)
