Job 21:28-30
Job 21:27-33 The Message (MSG)
“I’m not deceived. I know what you’re up to, the plans you’re cooking up to bring me down. Naively you claim that the castles of tyrants fall to pieces, that the achievements of the wicked collapse. Have you ever asked world travelers how they see it? Have you not listened to their stories Of evil men and women who got off scot-free, who never had to pay for their wickedness? Did anyone ever confront them with their crimes? Did they ever have to face the music? Not likely—they’re given fancy funerals with all the trimmings, Gently lowered into expensive graves, with everyone telling lies about how wonderful they were.
Job 21:28-30 King James Version (KJV)
For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? And where are the dwelling places of the wicked? Have ye not asked them that go by the way? And do ye not know their tokens, That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? They shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
Job 21:28-30 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

Job 21:28-30 New Century Version (NCV)

Job 21:28-30 American Standard Version (ASV)

Job 21:28-30 New International Version (NIV)
