23-24 Some of us die prosperous,enjoying good health,
25 while others die in poverty,having known only pain.
26 But we all end up dead,beneath a blanket of worms.
27 My friends, I know that youare plotting against me.
28 You ask, “Where is the homeof that important personwho does so much evil?”
29 Everyone, near and far, agrees
30 that those who do wrongnever suffer disaster,when God becomes angry.
