Job 21:24 Context

◄ Job 21:24 ►

His body is well nourished, and his bones are rich with marrow.

Context

24His sides are filled out with fat,
And the marrow of his bones is moist,

25While another dies with a bitter soul,
Never even tasting anything good.

26“Together they lie down in the dust,
And worms cover them.

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

28“For you say, ‘Where is the house of the nobleman,
And where is the tent, the dwelling places of the wicked?’

29“Have you not asked wayfaring men,
And do you not recognize their witness?

30“For the wicked is reserved for the day of calamity;
They will be led forth at the day of fury.

31“Who will confront him with his actions,
And who will repay him for what he has done?

32“While he is carried to the grave,
Men will keep watch over his tomb.

33“The clods of the valley will gently cover him;
Moreover, all men will follow after him,
While countless ones go before him.

34“How then will you vainly comfort me,
For your answers remain full of falsehood?”
