Job 21:27-34 - My Friends Have Betrayed Me

²⁷
“Behold, I know your thoughts,
And the plots by which you would wrong me.
²⁸
“For you say, ‘Where is the house of the noble man?
And where is the tent, the dwelling place of the wicked?’
²⁹
“Have you not asked those who travel this way,
And do you not recognize their witness?
³⁰
“That evil men are [now] reserved for the day of disaster and destruction,
They will be led away on the day of [God’s] wrath?
³¹
“But who will confront him with his actions and rebuke him face to face,
And who will repay him for what he has done?
³²
“When he is carried to his grave,
A guard will keep watch over his tomb.
³³
“The [dirt] clods of the valley are sweet to him [and gently cover him],
Moreover, all men will follow after him [to a grave],
While countless ones go before him.

³⁴
“How then can you vainly comfort me with empty words,
Since your answers remain untrue?”
