Job's Eighth Speech, Continued

20 O that all compassion upon them were forgotten: that their dainties were worms, that they were clean put out of remembrance, and utterly hewn down like an unfruitful tree. 21 For they maintain the barren, and make them that they cannot bear, and unto widows they do no good. 22 They pluck down the mighty with their power, and when they themselves are gotten up, they are never without fear, as long as they live.
