Job 21:22-26
Lexham English Bible

22 Can anyone teach knowledge to God,
since[a] he himself[b] judges high ones?
23 This one dies in full prosperity,[c]
completely[d] at ease and secure.
24 His vats are full with milk
and the marrow of his bones is moist.
25 Yet[e] another dies with a bitter inner self[f]
and has not tasted prosperity.
26 They lie down together in the dust,
and maggots cover them.

having never tasted prosperity.
26 But they both lie in the dust,
and worms cover them.(C)
