Strongs On/Off
Context
21:29 Have you never questioned those who travel the roads ? Do you not recognize their accounts –
21:30 that the evil man is spared from the day of his misfortune , that he is delivered from the day of God’s wrath ?
21:31 No one denounces his conduct to his face ; no one repays him for what he has done .
21:32 And when he is carried to the tombs , and watch is kept over the funeral mound ,
21:33 The clods of the torrent valley are sweet to him; behind him everybody follows in procession, and before him goes a countless throng.
21:34 So how can you console me with your futile words? Nothing is left of your answers but deception !”
