Job 24:19-25

24:19

Drought
<06723>

and heat
<02527>

consume
<01497> (8799)

the snow
<07950>

waters
<04325>_:

[so doth] the grave
<07585>

[those which] have sinned
<02398> (8804)_.

{consume: Heb. violently take}

24:20

The womb
<07358>

shall forget
<07911> (8799)

him; the worm
<07415>

shall feed sweetly
<04988> (8804)

on him; he shall be no more remembered
<02142> (8735)_;

and wickedness
<05766>

shall be broken
<07665> (8735)

as a tree
<06086>_.

24:21

He evil entreateth
<07462> (8802)

the barren
<06135>

[that] beareth
<03205> (8799)

not: and doeth not good
<03190> (8686)

to the widow
<0490>_.

24:22

He draweth
<04900> (8804)

also the mighty
<047>

with his power
<03581>_:

he riseth up
<06965> (8799)_,

and no [man] is sure
<0539> (8686)

of life
<02416>_.

{no...: or, he trusteth not his own life}

24:23

[Though] it be given
<05414> (8799)

him [to be] in safety
<0983>_,

whereon he resteth
<08172> (8735)_;

yet his eyes
<05869>

[are] upon their ways
<01870>_.

24:24

They are exalted
<07426> (8804)

for a little while
<04592>_,

but are gone and brought low
<04355> (8717)_;

they are taken out
<07092> (8735)

of the way
<01870>

as all [other], and cut off
<05243> (8799)

as the tops
<07218>

of the ears of corn
<07641>_.

{are gone: Heb. are not} {taken...: Heb. closed up}

24:25

And if [it be] not [so] now
<0645>_,

who will make
<07760> (8799)

me a liar
<03576> (8686)_,

and make
<07760> (8799)

my speech
<04405>

nothing worth
<0408>_?
