19 Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters;

so does Sheol those who have sinned.

19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters:

So doth the grave those which have sinned.

19 The grave consumes sinners

just as drought and heat consume snow.

19 As drought and heat consume the snow waters,

So the grave consumes those who have sinned.

19 As heat and dryness quickly melt the snow,

so the grave quickly takes away the sinners.

19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters:

So doth Sheol those that have sinned.

19 Drought and heat consume snow waters; so doth Sheol those that have sinned.

19 ⸤Just as⸥ drought and heat steal water from snow, 

so the grave steals people who sin. 

19 As dry ground and heat snatch away the melted snow,

so Sheol steals those who have sinned.

19 Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters;

so does Sheol those who have sinned.

19 Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters,

like Sheol snatches away those who have sinned.

19 Melted snow disappears when the air is hot and dry.

And sinners disappear when they go down into their graves.

19 “Drought and heat consume the snow waters,

So does Sheol those who have sinned.
