Read in context

Job 21:30–34 · Berean Standard Bible

30 Indeed, the evil man is spared from the day of calamity, delivered from the day of wrath.

31 Who denounces his behavior to his face? Who repays him for what he has done?

32 He is carried to the grave, and watch is kept over his tomb.

33 The clods of the valley are sweet to him; everyone follows behind him, and those before him are without number.

34 So how can you comfort me with empty words? For your answers remain full of falsehood.”
