Job 21:22-26
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

22 Will any teach God knowledge,
    seeing that he judges those who are on high?(A)
23 One dies in full prosperity,
    being wholly at ease and secure,
24 his loins full of milk
    and the marrow of his bones moist.
25 Another dies in bitterness of soul,
    never having tasted of good.
26 They lie down alike in the dust,
    and the worms cover them.(B)

Job 21:22-26
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)
