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.
