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.
