Job 21:27-33

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁷ Oh, I know your thoughts
and your schemes to harm me.
²⁸ For you say, “Where is the nobleman’s house,
and where is the tent, which was the dwelling of the wicked?”

²⁹ Why don’t you question those who travel the roads?
Why don’t you acknowledge the lessons they learned?^[a]
30 They say that the wicked man is spared from the day of disaster,
and that he escapes the day of raging fury.
³¹ Who denounces him to his face for the way he has lived?
Who repays him for what he has done?
³² When he is carried to the tombs,
when a vigil is kept at his burial mound,
³³ the clods of dirt from the streambed are sweet to him.
Everyone follows his funeral procession.
A crowd of people marches ahead of it.^[b]
