Job 24:18-25
Holman Christian Standard Bible
18 They float[a] on the surface of the water.
Their section of the land is cursed,
so that they never go to their vineyards.
19 As dry ground and heat snatch away the melted snow,
so Sheol(A) steals those who have sinned.
20 The womb forgets them;
worms feed on them;
they are remembered(B) no more.
So injustice is broken like a tree.
21 They prey on[b] the childless woman who is unable to conceive,
and do not deal kindly with the widow.
22 Yet God drags away[c] the mighty by His power;
when He rises up, they have no assurance of life.
23 He gives them a sense of security, so they can rely on it,(C)
but His eyes(D) watch over their ways.
24 They are exalted for a moment, then they are gone;
they are brought low and shrivel up like everything else.[d]
They wither like heads of grain.(E)
25 If this is not true, then who can prove me a liar(F)
and show that my speech is worthless?
