Job 21:21–23

21 For what do they care about the families they leave behind

when their allotted months come to an end?

22 “Can anyone teach knowledge to God,

since he judges even the highest?

23 One person dies in full vigor,

completely secure and at ease,

21 For what pleasure hath he in his house after him,

When the number of his months is cut off in the midst?

22 Shall any teach God knowledge?

Seeing he judgeth those that are high.

23 One dieth in his full strength,

Being wholly at ease and quiet.

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,

21 For what does he care about his household after him,

When the number of his months is cut in half?

22 “Can anyone teach God knowledge,

Since He judges those on high?

23 One dies in his full strength,

Being wholly at ease and secure;

21 They do not care about the families they leave behind

when their lives have come to an end.

22 “No one can teach knowledge to God;

he is the one who judges even the most important people.

23 One person dies while he still has all his strength,

feeling completely safe and comfortable.

21 For what careth he for his house after him,

When the number of his months is cut off?

22 Shall any teach God knowledge,

Seeing he judgeth those that are high?

23 One dieth in his full strength,

Being wholly at ease and quiet:

21 For what pleasure should he have in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off? 22 Can any teach •God knowledge? And he it is that judgeth those that are high. 23 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet;

21 How can he be interested in his family after he’s gone, 

when the number of his months is cut short? 

22 “Can anyone teach God knowledge? 

Can anyone judge the Most High? 

23 One person dies in his prime 

and feels altogether happy and contented. 

21 For what does he care about his family once he is dead,

when the number of his months has run out?

22 Can anyone teach God knowledge,

since He judges the exalted ones?

23 One person dies in excellent health,

completely secure and at ease.

21 For what do they care for their household after them,

when the number of their months is cut off?

22 Will any teach God knowledge,

seeing that he judges those who are on high?

23 One dies in full prosperity,

being wholly at ease and secure,

21 for what does he care for his house after him,

when the number of his months is cut off?

22 Can anyone teach knowledge to God,

since he himself judges high ones?

23 This one dies in full prosperity,

completely at ease and secure.

21 What does he care about the family he leaves behind?

What does he care about them

when his life comes to an end?

22 “Can anyone teach God anything?

After all, he judges even the angels in heaven.

23 Some people die while they are still very strong.

They are completely secure. They have an easy life.

21 “For what does he care for his household after him,

When the number of his months is cut off?

22 “Can anyone teach God knowledge,

In that He judges those on high?

23 “One dies in his full strength,

Being wholly at ease and satisfied;
