Job 21:22-26
New American Standard Bible

22 Can anyone (A)teach God knowledge,
In that He (B)judges those on high?
23 One (C)dies in his full strength,
Being wholly undisturbed and at ease;
24 His [a]sides are filled with fat,
And the (D)marrow of his bones is wet,
25 While another dies with a bitter soul,
Never even [b]tasting anything good.
26 Together they (E)lie down in the dust,
And (F)maggots cover them.

Job 21:22-26
Holman Christian Standard Bible

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)
