Job 21:27-33
English Standard Version
27 “Behold, I know your thoughts
and your schemes to wrong me.
28 For you say, (A)‘Where is the house of the prince?
Where is (B)the tent in which the wicked lived?’
29 Have you not asked those who travel the roads,
and do you not accept their testimony
30 that (C)the evil man is spared in the day of calamity,
that he is rescued in the day of wrath?
31 Who declares his way (D)to his face,
and who (E)repays him for what he has done?
32 When he is (F)carried to the grave,
watch is kept over his tomb.
33 (G)The clods of the valley are sweet to him;
(H)all mankind follows after him,
and those who go before him are innumerable.

or paid attention to their reports?

on the day of fury they are rescued.
31 Who can criticize their behavior to their faces;
they act, and who can avenge them?
32 They are carried to their graves;
someone keeps guard over their tombs.
33 The soil near the desert streambed is sweet to them;
everyone marches after them—
those before them, beyond counting.
