Job 24:18-25
New International Version
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)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
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?”
