Job 21:27-33
Christian Standard Bible
27 I know your thoughts very well,
the schemes by which you would wrong me.
28 For you say, “Where now is the nobleman’s house?”
and “Where are the tents(A) the wicked lived in?”
29 Have you never consulted those who travel the roads?
Don’t you accept their reports?[a]
30 Indeed, the evil person is spared from the day of disaster,
rescued from the day of wrath.
31 Who would denounce his behavior to his face?
Who would repay(B) him for what he has done?
32 He is carried to the grave,
and someone keeps watch over his tomb.
33 The dirt on his grave is[b] sweet to him.
Everyone follows behind him,
and those who go before him are without number.
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.
