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

²⁷ Lo! I know your plans, and the devices, wherewith ye would do me violence! ²⁸ For ye say, Where is the house of the noble-minded? And where the dwelling-tent of the lawless? ²⁹ Have ye not asked the passers-by in the way? And, their signs, can ye not recognise? ³⁰ That, to the day of calamity, is the wicked reserved, to the day of indignant visitation, are they led. ³¹ Who can declare - to his face - his way? And, what, he, hath done, who shall recompense to him? ³² Yet, he, to the graves, is borne, and, over the tomb, one keepeth watch; ³³ Pleasant to him are the mounds of the torrent-bed, - and, after him, doth every man march, as, before him, there were without number.

³⁴ How then should ye comfort me with vanity, since, as for your replies, there lurketh, in them treachery?
