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

Job 24:18-25
Revised Standard Version
18 “You say, ‘They are swiftly carried away upon the face of the waters;
their portion is cursed in the land;
no treader turns toward their vineyards.
19 Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters;
so does Sheol those who have sinned.
20 The 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.
22 Yet God[c] prolongs the life of the mighty by his power;
they rise up when they despair of life.
23 He gives them security, and they are supported;
and his eyes are upon their ways.
24 They are exalted a little while, and then are gone;
they wither and fade like the mallow;[d]
they are cut off like the heads of grain.
25 If it is not so, who will prove me a liar,
and show that there is nothing in what I say?”
