Job 21:22

Can anyone teach knowledge to God, since He judges those on high?

Job 21:22 · BSB

Job 21:22 in context

The verses around it, from Job 21.

18 Are they like straw before the wind, like chaff swept away by a storm?

19 It is said that God lays up one’s punishment for his children. Let God repay the man himself, so he will know it.

20 Let his eyes see his own destruction; let him drink for himself the wrath of the Almighty.

21 For what does he care about his household after him, when the number of his months has run out?

22 Can anyone teach knowledge to God, since He judges those on high?

23 One man dies full of vigor, completely secure and at ease.

24 His body is well nourished, and his bones are rich with marrow.

25 Yet another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, having never tasted prosperity.

26 But together they lie down in the dust, and worms cover them both.
