19. Heat and dryness quickly take away the melted snow.In the same way, the place for the dead quickly takes away those who have sinned.
20. The evil person’s mother will even forget him.The worms will eat his body.He will no longer be remembered.So wickedness is broken in pieces like a stick.
21. These evil men are unfair to women who cannot have children.And they show no kindness to widows.
22. God drags away strong men by his power.But even though they seem strong, they do not know how long they will live.
23. God may let these evil people feel safe.But he is watching their ways.
24. For a little while they are important, and then they are gone.They are made unimportant and gathered up like everyone else.They are cut off like the tops of stalks of grain.
25. If this is not true, who can prove I am wrong?And who can show that my words are worth nothing?”
