22 “Shall any teach God knowledge,
    since he judges those who are high?
23 One dies in his full strength,
    being wholly at ease and quiet.
24 His pails are full of milk.
    The marrow of his bones is moistened.
25 Another dies in bitterness of soul,
    and never tastes of good.
26 They lie down alike in the dust.
    The worm covers them.

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.
