23. One dies in his perfect strength, completely at ease and satisfied;
24. His pails are filled with milk, and his bones are juicy with marrow.
25. Another one dies in the bitterness of his being, and never eats with pleasure.
26. Together they lie down in the dust, and worms cover them.
27. Look, I know your thoughts, and the plots with which you would wrong me.
28. For you say, ‘Where is the house of the noble one? And where is the tent, the dwelling place of the wrong ones?’
29. Have you not asked those passing by the way? And do you not know their signs?
30. That the wicked is kept for the day of calamity. They are brought to the day of wrath.
31. Who declares his way to his face? And who repays him for what he has done?
32. As for him, he is brought to the grave, and a watch is kept over the tomb.
33. The clods of the wadi shall be sweet to him, and all men follow him, innumerable are those before him.
34. How then do you comfort me in vain, seeing that perverseness remains in your answers?”
