Job 21:27

JusticeDeath and loss

25 Yet another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, having never tasted prosperity.

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

Behold, I know your thoughts full 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 in which the wicked dwell?’

29 Have you never asked those who travel the roads? Do you not accept their reports?
