Job 21:33

Compare all

31 Who condemns his way to his face?
And who repays him for what he has done?

32 Yet he shall be brought to the grave,
And a vigil kept over the tomb.

33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him;
^aEveryone shall follow him,
As countless have gone before him.

34 How then can you comfort me with empty words,
Since¹ falsehood remains in your answers?”
