Job 24:18-24 Modern English Version (MEV)

18. “He is swift as the waters.Their portion is cursed in the earth.They do not turn toward the way of the vineyards.

19. Drought and heat consume the snow waters;so the grave consumes those who have sinned.

20. The womb will forget him;the worm will feed sweetly on him;he will be remembered no more,and wickedness will be broken like a tree.

21. He preys on the barren who do not bear,and does no good for the widow.

22. But God draws the mighty away with His power;He rises up, and no man is sure of life.

23. He gives them security, and they rely onit;yet His eyes are on their ways.

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