24:19 The drought <06723> as well as <01571> the heat <02527> carry away <01497> the melted <04325> snow <07950>; so the grave <07585> takes away those who have sinned <02398>. 24:20 The womb <07358> forgets <07911> him, the worm <07415> feasts <04988> on him, no <03808> longer <05750> will he be remembered <02142>. Like a tree <06086>, wickedness <05766> will be broken down <07665>. 24:21 He preys <07462> on the barren <06135> and childless <03205> <03808> woman, and does not <03808> treat <03190> the widow <0490> well <03190>. 24:22 But God drags off <04900> the mighty <047> by his power <03581>; when God rises up <06965> against him, he has no <03808> faith <0539> in his life <02416>. 24:23 God may let <05414> them rest <08172> in a feeling of security <0983>, but he is constantly watching <05921> <05869> all their ways <01870>. 24:24 They are exalted <07426> for a little <04592> while, and then they are gone <0369>, they are brought low <04355> like all <03605> others, and gathered in <07092>, and like a head <07218> of grain <07641> they are cut off <05243>.’ 24:25 “If <0518> this is not <03808> so, who <04310> can prove me a liar <03576> and reduce <07760> my words <04405> to nothing <0408>?”
