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.

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.
