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.

22 Will any teach God knowledge,
    seeing that he judges those that are on high?
23 One dies in full prosperity,
    being wholly at ease and secure,
24 his body[a] full of fat
    and the marrow of his bones moist.
25 Another dies in bitterness of soul,
    never having tasted of good.
26 They lie down alike in the dust,
    and the worms cover them.
