Job 21:27-33
1599 Geneva Bible
27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the enterprises wherewith ye do me wrong.
28 For ye say, Where is the prince’s [a]house? and where is the tabernacle of the wicked’s dwelling?
29 May ye [b]not ask them that go by the way? and ye cannot deny their signs.
30 But the wicked is kept unto the day of [c]destruction, and they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
31 Who shall declare his way [d]to his face? and who shall reward him for that he hath done?
32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and remain in the heap.
33 The [e]slimy valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as before him there were innumerable.
