Job 21:28–30

28 You say, ‘Where now is the house of the great,

the tents where the wicked lived?’

29 Have you never questioned those who travel?

Have you paid no regard to their accounts—

30 that the wicked are spared from the day of calamity,

that they are delivered from the day of wrath?

28 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince?

And where are the dwelling places of the wicked?

29 Have ye not asked them that go by the way?

And do ye not know their tokens,

30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction?

They shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

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.

28 For you say,

‘Where is the house of the prince?

And where is the tent,

The dwelling place of the wicked?’

29 Have you not asked those who travel the road?

And do you not know their signs?

30 For the wicked are reserved for the day of doom;

They shall be brought out on the day of wrath.

28 You ask about me, ‘Where is this great man’s house?

Where are the tents where the wicked live?’

29 Have you never asked those who travel?

Have you never listened to their stories?

30 On the day of God’s anger and punishment,

it is the wicked who are spared.

28 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince?

And where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt?

29 Have ye not asked wayfaring men?

And do ye not know their evidences,

30 That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity?

That they are led forth to the day of wrath?

28 For ye say, Where is the house of the noble? and where the tent of the dwellings of the wicked? 29 Have ye not asked the wayfarers? and do ye not regard their tokens: 30 That the wicked is reserved for the day of calamity? They are led forth to the day of wrath.

28 because you ask, 

‘Where is the house of the influential person? 

Where is the tent where wicked people live?’ 

29 Haven’t you asked travelers? 

But you didn’t pay attention to their directions. 

30 On the day of disaster the wicked person is spared. 

On the day of ⸤God’s⸥ anger he is rescued. 

28 For you say, “Where now is the nobleman’s house?”

and “Where are the tents the wicked lived in?”

29 Have you never consulted those who travel the roads?

Don’t you accept their reports?

30 Indeed, the evil man is spared from the day of disaster,

rescued from the day of wrath.

28 For you say, ‘Where is the house of the prince?

Where is the tent in which the wicked lived?’

29 Have you not asked those who travel the roads,

and do you not accept their testimony,

30 that the wicked are spared in the day of calamity

and are rescued in the day of wrath?

28 For you say, ‘Where is the nobleman’s house,

and where are the tents in which the wicked dwell?’

29 Do you not ask those traveling the roads,

and do you not take notice of their accounts?

30 Indeed, the wicked is spared from the day of disaster;

he is delivered from the day of wrath.

28 You are saying to yourselves,

‘Where is the great man’s house now?

Where are the tents where his evil family lived?’

29 Haven’t you ever asked questions of those who travel?

Haven’t you paid any attention to their stories?

30 They’ll tell you that sinful people

are spared from the day of trouble.

They’ll say that those people

are saved from the day when God will judge.

28 “For you say, ‘Where is the house of the nobleman,

And where is the tent, the dwelling places of the wicked?’

29 “Have you not asked wayfaring men,

And do you not recognize their witness?

30 “For the wicked is reserved for the day of calamity;

They will be led forth at the day of fury.
