Job 24:21
Verse 21 of 25. The 24th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.
17For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
18“They are foam on the surface of the waters. Their portion is cursed on the earth. They don’t turn into the way of the vineyards.
19Drought and heat consume the snow waters, so does Sheol those who have sinned.
20The womb will forget him. The worm will feed sweetly on him. He will be no more remembered. Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.
21He devours the barren who don’t bear. He shows no kindness to the widow.
22Yet God preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
23God gives them security, and they rest in it. His eyes are on their ways.
24They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
25If it isn’t so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?”
