## Job 21:21-23 in Context (Verses 18–26 KJV)
 
 [18 ](/kjv/job/21/18) They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/job/21/19) God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know *it*.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/job/21/20) His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/job/21/21) For what pleasure *hath* he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
 
 [22 ](/kjv/job/21/22) Shall *any* teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/job/21/23) One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.*
 
 [24 ](/kjv/job/21/24) His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.*
 
 [25 ](/kjv/job/21/25) And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/job/21/26) They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
 
[Job 20](/kjv/job/20) [Job 22](/kjv/job/22)
