This verse is sometimes misinterpreted as Job claiming the wicked face no consequences at all, even in death, thereby denying God's justice; in reality, Job is rhetorically contrasting the prosperity of the ungodly during life and at burial with his friends' theology of swift punishment, while the broader book of Job affirms ultimate accountability before God beyond earthly outcomes.
Job 21:32
King James Version (1769)
32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.
Job observes that even the wicked often receive dignified treatment in death, being escorted to the grave and resting securely there like stacks of harvested grain safely stored away, emphasizing that visible prosperity and honorable burial are not reserved solely for the righteous and challenging simplistic views of immediate divine retribution in this life.
