19 As dry ground and heat snatch away the melted snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned. 20 The womb forgets them; worms feed on them; they are remembered no more. So injustice is broken like a tree. 21 They prey on the childless woman who is unable to conceive, and do not deal kindly with the widow. 22 Yet God drags away the mighty by his power; when he rises up, they have no assurance of life. 23 He gives them a sense of security, so they can rely on it, but his eyes watch over their ways. 24 They are exalted for a moment, then gone; they are brought low and shrivel up like everything else. They wither like heads of grain. 25 If this is not true, then who can prove me a liar and show that my speech is worthless? Job 24:19-25, Christian Standard Bible.
