Job 21:23-26

^{Tools
23}

“One ^(A)dies in his full strength,
Being wholly at ease and ^(a)satisfied;

^{Tools
24}

His ^(b)sides are filled out with fat,
And the ^(B)marrow of his bones is moist,

^{Tools
25}

While another dies with a bitter soul,
Never even ^(c)tasting anything good.

^{Tools
26}

“Together they ^(C)lie down in the dust,
And ^(D)worms cover them.
