Job 21:26

Verse 26 of 34. The 21st of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

22“Shall any teach God knowledge, since he judges those who are high?

23One dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.

24His pails are full of milk. The marrow of his bones is moistened.

25Another dies in bitterness of soul, and never tastes of good.

26They lie down alike in the dust. The worm covers them.

27“Behold, I know your thoughts, the plans with which you would wrong me.

28For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince? Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?’

29Haven’t you asked wayfaring men? Don’t you know their evidences,

30that the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity, that they are led out to the day of wrath?
