New Testament

Job 21:25-34 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

25. Yet another person dies with a bitter soul,having never tasted prosperity.

26. But they both lie in the dust,and worms cover them.

27. I know your thoughts very well,the schemes you would wrong me with.

28. For you say, “Where now is the nobleman’s house? ”and “Where are the tents the wicked lived in? ”

29. Have you never consulted those who travel the roads?Don’t you accept their reports?

30. Indeed, the evil man is spared from the day of disaster,rescued from the day of wrath.

31. Who would denounce his behavior to his face?Who would repay him for what he has done?

32. He is carried to the grave,and someone keeps watch over his tomb.

33. The dirt on his grave is sweet to him.Everyone follows behind him,and those who go before him are without number.

34. So how can you offer me such futile comfort?Your answers are deceptive.
