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.
Job 21:27-33
New Living Translation
27 “Look, I know what you’re thinking.
I know the schemes you plot against me.
28 You will tell me of rich and wicked people
whose houses have vanished because of their sins.
29 But ask those who have been around,
and they will tell you the truth.
30 Evil people are spared in times of calamity
and are allowed to escape disaster.
31 No one criticizes them openly
or pays them back for what they have done.
32 When they are carried to the grave,
an honor guard keeps watch at their tomb.
33 A great funeral procession goes to the cemetery.
Many pay their respects as the body is laid to rest,
and the earth gives sweet repose.
