Job 24:18-25

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁸ ¶ They are swift upon the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth; they never come by the way of the vineyards.

¹⁹ Drought and heat consume the snow waters; so does Sheol consume those who have sinned.

²⁰ The Merciful One shall forget them; the worm shall feed sweetly on them; they shall never be remembered again; and iniquity shall be broken as a tree.

²¹ He afflicted the barren woman that did not conceive and never did good unto the widow.

²² He furthered the violent with his power; he did not lend to anyone in his life.

²³ If he gave credit to some to take them over, his eyes were upon their ways.

²⁴ They were exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all others and cut off as the tops of the heads of grain.

²⁵ And if it is not so now, who will make me a liar or reduce my speech to nothing?
