Behold, I know your thoughts

Job 21:27–34, “Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me. For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked? Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens, That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath. Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done? Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb. The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him. How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?”

Job was getting tired of his friends' hypocrisy. They pretended to be sympathetic and compassionate but really they were taking advantage of his severe setback to tell him things they, otherwise, would not have said. They had never talked to someone who had already died so they couldn’t possibly know what happens after death. A man who knows hardship may well be pleased to be dead because he has been saved from him hardship but no one knows if that is true or not. His friends were not comforting him at all because they weren’t telling Job the truth.
