Job 21:19-28
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 21
19
You say,
‘God saves up a person’s wrongdoing for his sons.’
Let God repay him so that he may know
it.
20
Let his own eyes see his destruction,
And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21
For what does he care about his household after him,
When the number of his months is at an end?
22
Can anyone teach God knowledge,
In that He judges those on high?
23
One dies in his full strength,
Being wholly undisturbed and at ease;
24
His sides are filled with fat,
And the marrow of his bones is wet,
25
While another dies with a bitter soul,
Never even tasting
anything
good.
26
Together they lie down in the dust,
And maggots cover them.
27
'Behold, I know your thoughts,
And the plots you devise against me.
28
For you say, ‘Where is the house of the nobleman,
And where is the tent, the dwelling places of the wicked?’
King James Version
Chapter 21
19
God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
20
His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21
For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
22
Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
23
One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
24
His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
25
And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
26
They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover 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 are the dwelling places of the wicked?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 21
19
God reserves a person’s punishment for his children.
Let God repay the person himself, so that he may know it.
20
Let his own eyes see his demise;
let him drink from the Almighty’s wrath!
21
For what does he care about his family once he is dead,
when the number of his months has run out?
22
Can anyone teach God knowledge,
since he judges the exalted ones?
23
One person dies in excellent health,
completely secure and at ease.
24
His body is well fed,
and his bones are full of marrow.
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 by which you would wrong me.
28
For you say, "Where now is the nobleman’s house?"
and "Where are the tents the wicked lived in?"
New Living Translation
Chapter 21
19
'‘Well,’ you say, ‘at least God will punish their children!’
But I say he should punish the ones who sin,
so that they understand his judgment.
20
Let them see their destruction with their own eyes.
Let them drink deeply of the anger of the Almighty.
21
For they will not care what happens to their family
after they are dead.
22
'But who can teach a lesson to God,
since he judges even the most powerful?
23
One person dies in prosperity,
completely comfortable and secure,
24
the picture of good health,
vigorous and fit.
25
Another person dies in bitter poverty,
never having tasted the good life.
26
But both are buried in the same dust,
both eaten by the same maggots.
27
'Look, I know what you’re thinking.
I know the schemes you plot against me.
28
You will tell me of rich and wicked people
whose houses have vanished because of their sins.
English Standard Version
Chapter 21
19
You say, ‘God stores up their iniquity for their children.’
Let him pay it out to them, that they may know it.
20
Let their own eyes see their destruction,
and let them drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21
For what do they care for their houses after them,
when the number of their months is cut off?
22
Will any teach God knowledge,
seeing that he judges those who are on high?
23
One dies in his full vigor,
being wholly at ease and secure,
24
his pails full of milk
and the marrow of his bones moist.
25
Another dies in bitterness of soul,
never having tasted of prosperity.
26
They lie down alike in the dust,
and the worms cover them.
27
"Behold, I know your thoughts
and your schemes to wrong me.
28
For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince?
Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?’
New International Version
Chapter 21
19
It is said, ‘God stores up the punishment of the wicked for their children.’
Let him repay the wicked, so that they themselves will experience it!
20
Let their own eyes see their destruction;
let them drink the cup of the wrath of the Almighty.
21
For what do they care about the families they leave behind
when their allotted months come to an end?
22
"Can anyone teach knowledge to God,
since he judges even the highest?
23
One person dies in full vigor,
completely secure and at ease,
24
well nourished in body,
bones rich with marrow.
25
Another dies in bitterness of soul,
never having enjoyed anything good.
26
Side by side they lie in the dust,
and worms cover them both.
27
"I know full well what you are thinking,
the schemes by which you would wrong me.
28
You say, ‘Where now is the house of the great,
the tents where the wicked lived?’
New King James Version
Chapter 21
19
They say,
‘God lays up one’s iniquity for his children’;
Let Him recompense him, that he may know
it.
20
Let his eyes see his destruction,
And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21
For what does he care about his household after him,
When the number of his months is cut in half?
22
“Can
anyone
teach God knowledge,
Since He judges those on high?
23
One dies in his full strength,
Being wholly at ease and secure;
24
His pails are full of milk,
And the marrow of his bones is moist.
25
Another man dies in the bitterness of his soul,
Never having eaten with pleasure.
26
They lie down alike in the dust,
And worms cover them.
27
“Look, I know your thoughts,
And the schemes
with which
you would wrong me.
28
For you say,
‘Where
is
the house of the prince?
And where
is
the tent,
The dwelling place of the wicked?’
