Job 21:20

20 Let his eyes see his destruction,
And ^alet him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

21 For what does he care about his household after him,
When the number of his months is cut in half?

22 “Can^a anyone teach God knowledge,
Since He judges those on high?

23 One dies in his full strength,
Being wholly at ease and secure;
