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.

22 “Can(A) anyone teach God knowledge,
Since He judges those on high?
23 One dies in his full strength,
Being wholly at ease and secure;
24 His [a]pails are full of milk,
And the marrow of his bones is moist.
25 Another man dies in the bitterness of his soul,
Never having eaten with pleasure.
26 They (B)lie down alike in the dust,
And worms cover them.
