Job 21 — Context

"Let his own eyes see his decay, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

"For what does he care for his household after him, When the number of his months is cut off?

"Can anyone teach God knowledge, In that He judges those on high?

"One dies in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and satisfied;

His sides are filled out with fat, And the marrow of his bones is moist,

While another dies with a bitter soul, Never even tasting anything good.

"Together they lie down in the dust, And worms cover them.
