Job 24:18-25
New Living Translation
18 “But they disappear like foam down a river.
Everything they own is cursed,
and they are afraid to enter their own vineyards.
19 The grave[a] consumes sinners
just as drought and heat consume snow.
20 Their own mothers will forget them.
Maggots will find them sweet to eat.
No one will remember them.
Wicked people are broken like a tree in the storm.
21 They cheat the woman who has no son to help her.
They refuse to help the needy widow.
22 “God, in his power, drags away the rich.
They may rise high, but they have no assurance of life.
23 They may be allowed to live in security,
but God is always watching them.
24 And though they are great now,
in a moment they will be gone like all others,
cut off like heads of grain.
25 Can anyone claim otherwise?
Who can prove me wrong?”

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?”
