22 “Can anyone teach knowledge to God,(A)
    since he judges even the highest?(B)
23 One person dies in full vigor,(C)
    completely secure and at ease,(D)
24 well nourished(E) in body,[a]
    bones(F) rich with marrow.(G)
25 Another dies in bitterness of soul,(H)
    never having enjoyed anything good.
26 Side by side they lie in the dust,(I)
    and worms(J) cover them both.(K)

22 Can anyone teach God knowledge,(A)
since he judges the exalted ones?[a]

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)
