Job 21:24-34
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 21
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?’
29
Have you not asked travelers,
And do you not examine their evidence?
30
For the wicked person is spared a day of disaster;
They are led
away
from a day of fury.
31
Who confronts him with his actions,
And who repays him for what he has done?
32
When he is carried to the grave,
People
will keep watch over
his
tomb.
33
The clods of the valley will gently cover him;
Moreover, all mankind will follow after him,
While countless
others go
before him.
34
So how dare you give me empty comfort?
For your answers remain
nothing but
falsehood!'
King James Version
Chapter 21
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?
29
Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,
30
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought 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 brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.
33
The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
34
How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 21
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?"
29
Have you never consulted those who travel the roads?
Don’t you accept their reports?
30
Indeed, the evil person 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.
New Living Translation
Chapter 21
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.
29
But ask those who have been around,
and they will tell you the truth.
30
Evil people are spared in times of calamity
and are allowed to escape disaster.
31
No one criticizes them openly
or pays them back for what they have done.
32
When they are carried to the grave,
an honor guard keeps watch at their tomb.
33
A great funeral procession goes to the cemetery.
Many pay their respects as the body is laid to rest,
and the earth gives sweet repose.
34
'How can your empty clichés comfort me?
All your explanations are lies!'
English Standard Version
Chapter 21
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?’
29
Have you not asked those who travel the roads,
and do you not accept their testimony
30
that the evil man is spared in the day of calamity,
that he is rescued in the day of wrath?
31
Who declares his way to his face,
and who repays him for what he has done?
32
When he is carried to the grave,
watch is kept over his tomb.
33
The clods of the valley are sweet to him;
all mankind follows after him,
and those who go before him are innumerable.
34
How then will you comfort me with empty nothings?
There is nothing left of your answers but falsehood."
New International Version
Chapter 21
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?’
29
Have you never questioned those who travel?
Have you paid no regard to their accounts—
30
that the wicked are spared from the day of calamity,
that they are delivered from the day of wrath?
31
Who denounces their conduct to their face?
Who repays them for what they have done?
32
They are carried to the grave,
and watch is kept over their tombs.
33
The soil in the valley is sweet to them;
everyone follows after them,
and a countless throng goes before them.
34
"So how can you console me with your nonsense?
Nothing is left of your answers but falsehood!"
New King James Version
Chapter 21
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?’
29
Have you not asked those who travel the road?
And do you not know their signs?
30
For the wicked are reserved for the day of doom;
They shall be brought out on the day of wrath.
31
Who condemns his way to his face?
And who repays him
for what
he has done?
32
Yet he shall be brought to the grave,
And a vigil kept over the tomb.
33
The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him;
Everyone shall follow him,
As countless
have gone
before him.
34
How then can you comfort me with empty words,
Since falsehood remains in your answers?”
