New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 21
21 For they will not care what happens to their family after they are dead.
22 “But who can teach a lesson to God, since he judges even the most powerful?
23 One person dies in prosperity, completely comfortable and secure,
24 the picture of good health, vigorous and fit.
25 Another person dies in bitter poverty, never having tasted the good life.
26 But both are buried in the same dust, both eaten by the same maggots.
27 “Look, I know what you’re thinking. I know the schemes you plot against me.
28 You will tell me of rich and wicked people whose houses have vanished because of their sins.
29 But ask those who have been around, and they will tell you the truth.
30 Evil people are spared in times of calamity and are allowed to escape disaster.
31 No one criticizes them openly or pays them back for what they have done.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
