Job 24:19

Job's Eighth Speech, Continued

¹⁸ “They are insignificant on the surface of the water;
Their portion is cursed on the earth.
They do not turn toward the vineyards.
¹⁹ “Drought and heat consume the snow waters,
So does Sheol those who have sinned.
²⁰ “A mother will forget him;
The worm feeds sweetly till he is no longer remembered.
And wickedness will be broken like a tree.
