Job 24:18–24

18

“They are foam on the surface of the waters.

Their portion is cursed on the earth.

They don’t turn into the way of the vineyards.

19

Drought and heat consume the snow waters,

so does Sheol those who have sinned.

20

The womb will forget him.

The worm will feed sweetly on him.

He will be no more remembered.

Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.

Selected verse

He devours the barren who don’t bear.

He shows no kindness to the widow.

22

Yet God preserves the mighty by his power.

He rises up who has no assurance of life.

23

God gives them security, and they rest in it.

His eyes are on their ways.

24

They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone.

Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others,

and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
