Job 24:18-25
Legacy Standard Bible
18 “[a]They are [b](A)insignificant on the surface of the water;
Their portion is (B)cursed on the earth.
They do not turn [c]toward the (C)vineyards.
19 Drought and heat (D)seize the snow waters,
So does (E)Sheol those who have sinned.
20 A [d](F)mother will forget him;
The (G)worm feasts sweetly till he is (H)no longer remembered.
And unrighteousness will be broken (I)like a tree.
21 He feeds on the barren woman who does not give birth
And does no good for (J)the widow.
22 But He drags off the mighty by (K)His power;
He rises, but (L)no one believes in his life.
23 He provides them (M)with security, and they are supported;
And His (N)eyes are on their ways.
24 They are exalted a (O)little while, then they are gone;
Moreover, they are (P)brought low and like everything gathered up;
Even like the heads of grain they are cut off.
25 Now if it is not so, (Q)who can prove me a liar,
And make my speech worthless?”
Job 24:18-25

18 “Swift are they on the face of the waters;
their portion in the land is cursed;
no treader turns toward their vineyards.(A)
19 Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters;
so does Sheol those who have sinned.(B)
20 The womb forgets them;
the worm finds them sweet;
they are no longer remembered,
so wickedness is broken like a tree.(C)
21 “They harm[a] the childless woman
and do no good to the widow.(D)
22 Yet God[b] prolongs the life of the mighty by his power;
they rise up when they despair of life.(E)
23 He gives them security, and they are supported;
his eyes are upon their ways.(F)
24 They are exalted a little while and then are gone;
they wither and fade like the mallow;[c]
they are cut off like the heads of grain.(G)
25 If it is not so, who will prove me a liar
and show that there is nothing in what I say?”

Job 24:18-25
New International Version
18 “Yet they are foam(A) on the surface of the water;(B)
their portion of the land is cursed,(C)
so that no one goes to the vineyards.(D)
19 As heat and drought snatch away the melted snow,(E)
so the grave(F) snatches away those who have sinned.
20 The womb forgets them,
the worm(G) feasts on them;(H)
the wicked are no longer remembered(I)
but are broken like a tree.(J)
21 They prey on the barren and childless woman,
and to the widow they show no kindness.(K)
22 But God drags away the mighty by his power;(L)
though they become established,(M) they have no assurance of life.(N)
23 He may let them rest in a feeling of security,(O)
but his eyes(P) are on their ways.(Q)
24 For a little while they are exalted, and then they are gone;(R)
they are brought low and gathered up like all others;(S)
they are cut off like heads of grain.(T)
25 “If this is not so, who can prove me false
and reduce my words to nothing?”(U)
