23One dies in his full vigor,
being wholly at ease and secure,
24his pails2 full of milk
and nthe marrow of his bones moist.
25Another dies in obitterness of soul,
never having tasted of prosperity.
26They plie down alike in the dust,
and qthe worms cover them.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
One person dies in full vigor,
completely secure and at ease,
well nourished in body,
bones rich with marrow.
Another dies in bitterness of soul,
never having enjoyed anything good.
Side by side they lie in the dust,
and worms cover them both.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
One person dies in excellent health,
completely secure and at ease.
His body is well fed,
and his bones are full of marrow.
Yet another person dies with a bitter soul,
having never tasted prosperity.
But they both lie in the dust,
and worms cover them.

NLTNew Living Translation
One person dies in prosperity,
completely comfortable and secure,
the picture of good health,
vigorous and fit.
Another person dies in bitter poverty,
never having tasted the good life.
But both are buried in the same dust,
both eaten by the same maggots.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
This one dies in full prosperity,
completely at ease and secure.
His vats are full with milk
and the marrow of his bones is moist.
Yet another dies with a bitter inner self
and has not tasted prosperity.
They lie down together in the dust,
and maggots cover them.

KJV 1900King James Version
One dieth in his full strength,
Being wholly at ease and quiet.
His breasts are full of milk,
And his bones are moistened with marrow.
And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul,
And never eateth with pleasure.
They shall lie down alike in the dust,
And the worms shall cover them.
