## Who will condemn the wicked man’s way to his face? Who will repay him for what he has done? ## Job uses questions to teach his friends and cause them to think deeply about what he is saying. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]]) ## to his face ## This means no one will go directly to the wicked person and condemn him personally. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]]) ## Yet he will be borne ## AT: "Yet people will carry him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]]) ## The clods of the valley will be sweet to him ## Job imagines that the dead person will even enjoy the dirt that is put on him. This means the wicked person will even have a good death and a nice burial after a fulfilling life. "Clods" refer to the earth that covers the grave. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]]) ## all people will follow after him as there were innumerable people before him ## Job emphasizes his idea by including the many before and after this man who will have the same life and death as this imaginary wicked person.
