Job 21:31-33
New Catholic Bible
31 “Who will reproach him for his conduct
and repay him for the evil he has done?
32 When he is carried to the grave,
a watch is maintained over his tomb.
33 The clods of the valley are sweet to him;[a]
the remainder of mankind will follow him,
and those who preceded him are beyond counting.
