Job 24:20-22

Revised Standard Version

²⁰The squares of the town^[a] forget them;
their name^[b] is no longer remembered;
so wickedness is broken like a tree.’

²¹“They feed on the barren childless woman,
and do no good to the widow.
²²Yet God^[c] prolongs the life of the mighty by his power;
they rise up when they despair of life.
