Job 24:19-21
American Standard Version
19 Drought and heat [a]consume the snow waters:
So doth Sheol those that have sinned.
20 The womb shall forget him;
The worm shall feed sweetly on him;
He shall be no more remembered;
And unrighteousness shall be broken [b]as a tree.
21 He devoureth the barren that beareth not,
And doeth not good to the widow.
Job 24:19-21

Job 24:19-21
New King James Version
19 As drought and heat [a]consume the snow waters,
So [b]the grave consumes those who have sinned.
20 The womb should forget him,
The worm should feed sweetly on him;
(A)He should be remembered no more,
And wickedness should be broken like a tree.
21 For he [c]preys on the barren who do not bear,
And does no good for the widow.
Job 24:19-21
English Standard Version
19 Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters;
so does (A)Sheol those who have sinned.
20 The womb forgets them;
the worm finds them sweet;
they are (B)no longer remembered,
so wickedness is broken like (C)a tree.’
21 “They wrong the barren, childless woman,
and do no good to the widow.
