Job 21:27-33
Expanded Bible
27 “I know very well your thoughts
and your ·plans [schemes] to ·wrong [hurt; do violence to] me.
28 You [C the friends] ask, ‘Where is this ·great man’s [L prince’s] house?
Where are the tents where the wicked live [C they don’t agree with Job that the wicked are rich and successful]?’
29 Have you never asked those who ·travel [L pass by on the road]?
Have you ·never listened to their stories [L not recognized their signs]?
30 On the day of ·God’s anger and punishment [L calamity; disaster],
it is the wicked who are spared.
31 Who will accuse them to their faces?
Who will pay them back for the evil they have done?
32 They are carried to their graves,
and someone keeps watch over their tombs [C a sign of a peaceful death and burial].
33 The dirt in the valley seems sweet to them.
Everybody follows after them,
and many people go before them.
Job 21:27-33
New American Standard Bible
27 “Behold, I know your thoughts,
And the plots you devise against me.
28 For you say, ‘Where is the house of (A)the nobleman,
And where is the (B)tent, the dwelling places of the wicked?’
29 Have you not asked travelers,
And do you not examine their [a]evidence?
30 For the (C)wicked person is spared [b]a day of disaster;
They [c]are led away from (D)a day of fury.
31 Who [d]confronts him with his actions,
And who repays him for what he has done?
32 When he is carried to the grave,
People will keep watch over his tomb.
33 The (E)clods of the valley will [e]gently cover him;
Moreover, (F)all mankind will [f]follow after him,
While countless others go before him.
