Job 21:21

“For what does he care for his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?”

Verse in context — Job 21

You say, 'God lays up his iniquity for his children.' Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.

Let his own eyes see his destruction. Let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

For what does he care for his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?

Shall any teach God knowledge, since he judges those who are high?

One dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
