28 For you say, “Where is the house of the great,and where the dwelling place of the wicked?”
29 Have you not asked the wayfarersand do you not acknowledge the witness they give?
30 On the day of calamity the evil man is spared,on the day that wrath is released.
31 Who will charge him to his face about his conduct,and for what he has done who will repay him?
32 He is carried to the graveand at his tomb they keep watch.
33 Sweet to him are the clods of the valley.All humankind will follow after him,and countless others before him.
34 How empty the consolation you offer me!Your arguments remain a fraud.
