Job Rejects the Friends' False Reasoning

Job 21:27-34

Lo, I have known your thoughts, And the devices against me ye do wrongfully.

For ye say, `Where is the house of the noble? And where the tent--The tabernacles of the wicked?'

Have ye not asked those passing by the way? And their signs do ye not know?

That to a day of calamity is the wicked spared. To a day of wrath they are brought.

Who doth declare to his face his way? And for that which he hath done, Who doth give recompence to him?

And he--to the graves he is brought. And over the heap a watch is kept.

Sweet to him have been the clods of the valley, And after him every man he draweth, And before him there is no numbering.

And how do ye comfort me with vanity, And in your answers hath been left trespass?
