Job 24:23–24

23 He may let them rest in a feeling of security,

but his eyes are on their ways.

24 For a little while they are exalted, and then they are gone;

they are brought low and gathered up like all others;

they are cut off like heads of grain.

23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth;

Yet his eyes are upon their ways.

24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone

And brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other,

And cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.

23 They may be allowed to live in security,

but God is always watching them.

24 And though they are great now,

in a moment they will be gone like all others,

cut off like heads of grain.

23 He gives them security, and they rely on it;

Yet His eyes are on their ways.

24 They are exalted for a little while,

Then they are gone.

They are brought low;

They are taken out of the way like all others;

They dry out like the heads of grain.

23 God may let these evil people feel safe,

but he is watching their ways.

24 For a little while they are important, and then they die;

they are laid low and buried like everyone else;

they are cut off like the heads of grain.

23 God giveth them to be in security, and they rest thereon;

And his eyes are upon their ways.

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

Yea, 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.

23 God setteth him in safety, and he resteth thereon; but his eyes are upon their ways. 24 They are exalted for a little, and are no more; they are laid low; like all other are they gathered, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.

23 ⸤God⸥ may let them feel confident and self-reliant, 

but his eyes are on their ways. 

24 ⸤Such people⸥ may be prosperous for a little while, 

but then they’re gone. 

They are brought down low and disappear like everything else. 

They wither like heads of grain. 

23 He gives them a sense of security, so they can rely on it,

but His eyes watch over their ways.

24 They are exalted for a moment, then they are gone;

they are brought low and shrivel up like everything else.

They wither like heads of grain.

23 He gives them security, and they are supported;

his eyes are upon their ways.

24 They are exalted a little while and then are gone;

they wither and fade like the mallow;

they are cut off like the heads of grain.

23 He gives security to him, and he is supported,

but his eyes are upon their ways.

24 They are exalted a little while, then they are gone.

And they are brought low; they are cut off like all others,

and like the heads of grain they wither away.

23 God might let them rest and feel secure.

But his eyes see how they live.

24 For a little while they are honored.

Then they are gone.

They are brought low.

And they die like everyone else.

They are cut off like heads of grain.

23 “He provides them with security, and they are supported;

And His eyes are on their ways.

24 “They are exalted a little while, then they are gone;

Moreover, they are brought low and like everything gathered up;

Even like the heads of grain they are cut off.
