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.

Job Suspects His Friends of Treachery

27 “Look! I know your thoughts,
    your plans[a] are going to harm me.
28 You ask, ‘Where is the noble person’s house?’
    and ‘Where are the tents where the wicked live?’
29 Haven’t you asked travelers on the highway?
    Don’t you accept their word
30 that the wicked person is spared from times of calamity,
    that he is rescued on the day of wrath?
31 Who will expose his conduct to his face?
    Who will repay him for what he has done
32 when he is carried away to the cemetery
    and guardians are placed to watch his tomb?
33 The runoff from the streams will seem sweet to him;
    everyone will follow after him;
        countless crows march ahead of him.
