Job 21:22-26
Expanded Bible
22 “·No one [L Who…?] can teach knowledge to God;
he is the one who judges even the most ·important [exalted] people [C Job wants to teach God to punish the wicked but thinks his attempt will be futile].
23 One person dies ·while he still has all his strength [L in perfect vigor],
feeling completely safe and ·comfortable [untroubled].
24 His ·body [or pail] was ·well fed [L full of milk],
and ·his bones were strong and healthy [L the marrow of his bones were well lubricated].
25 But another person dies ·with an unhappy heart [L in bitterness],
never enjoying ·any happiness [or the good life].
26 They ·are buried next to each other [L lie down together in the dust],
and worms cover them both.
Job 21:22-26
New American Standard Bible
22 Can anyone (A)teach God knowledge,
In that He (B)judges those on high?
23 One (C)dies in his full strength,
Being wholly undisturbed and at ease;
24 His [a]sides are filled with fat,
And the (D)marrow of his bones is wet,
25 While another dies with a bitter soul,
Never even [b]tasting anything good.
26 Together they (E)lie down in the dust,
And (F)maggots cover them.
