Job 24:18–25
18 “He himselfu is swift on the water’s surface;
their portion is cursed in the land.
⌊No one turns toward the path of their vineyards⌋.v
19 Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters,
like Sheol snatches away thosew who have sinned.
The maggot feasts on him until he is no longer remembered,
and wickedness is broken like ax tree.
21 He feeds on the barren, who does not have a child,
and does no good to the widow.
22 Yety hez carries off the tyrants by his strength;
if he rises up, thena heb cannot be certain of life.c
23 Hed gives security to him, and he ise supported,
butf his eyes are upon their ways.
24 They are exalted a little while, theng ⌊they are gone⌋.h
And they are brought low; they are cut off like all others,
and like the heads of grain they wither away.
25 “And if it is not so, then who can prove me a liar
and reduce my word to nothing?”
