Read in context

Job 21:21–25 · Berean Standard Bible

21 For what does he care about his household after him, when the number of his months has run out?

22 Can anyone teach knowledge to God, since He judges those on high?

23 One man dies full of vigor, completely secure and at ease.

24 His body is well nourished, and his bones are rich with marrow.

25 Yet another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, having never tasted prosperity.
