Job 21:22-26

Christian Standard Bible

²²Can anyone teach God knowledge,^(A)
since he judges the exalted ones?^[a]
²³One person dies in excellent health,^[b]
completely secure^[c] and at ease.
²⁴His body is^[d] well fed,^[e]
and his bones are full of marrow.^[f]
²⁵Yet another person dies with a bitter^(B) soul,
having never tasted prosperity.
²⁶But they both lie in the dust,
and worms cover them.^(C)
