27 “Behold, I know your thoughts,
    and your schemes to wrong me.
28 For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince?
    Where is the tent in which the wicked dwelt?’
29 Have you not asked those who travel the roads,
    and do you not accept their testimony
30 that the wicked man is spared in the day of calamity,
    that he is rescued in the day of wrath?
31 Who declares his way to his face,
    and who requites him for what he has done?
32 When he is borne to the grave,
    watch is kept over his tomb.
33 The clods of the valley are sweet to him;
    all men follow after him,
    and those who go before him are innumerable.

27 Behold, I know your thoughts,
And the devices wherewith ye would wrong me.
28 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince?
And where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt?
29 Have ye not asked wayfaring men?
And do ye not know their evidences,
30 That the evil man is [a]reserved to the day of calamity?
That they are [b]led forth to the day of wrath?
31 Who shall declare his way to his face?
And who shall repay him what he hath done?
32 [c]Yet shall he be borne to the grave,
And men shall keep watch over the tomb.
33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him,
And all men shall draw after him,
As there were innumerable before him.
