23. One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet:
24. His breasts are full of milk, and the marrow of his bones is moistened.
25. And another dieth in bitterness of soul, and never tasteth of good.
26. They lie down alike in the dust, and the worm covereth them.
27. Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against 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 them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens?
30. That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? that they are 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. Yet shall he be borne to the grave, and 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.
34. How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth only falsehood?
