Job Suspects His Friends of Treachery

27 “Look! I know your thoughts,
    your plans[a] are going to harm me.
28 You ask, ‘Where is the noble person’s house?’
    and ‘Where are the tents where the wicked live?’
29 Haven’t you asked travelers on the highway?
    Don’t you accept their word
30 that the wicked person is spared from times of calamity,
    that he is rescued on the day of wrath?
31 Who will expose his conduct to his face?
    Who will repay him for what he has done
32 when he is carried away to the cemetery
    and guardians are placed to watch his tomb?
33 The runoff from the streams will seem sweet to him;
    everyone will follow after him;
        countless crows march ahead of him.
