Job 24:23

Job's Eighth Speech, Continued

²²
“Yet God draws away the mighty by His power;
He rises, but no one has assurance of life.
²³ 
“God gives them security, and they are supported;
And His eyes are on their ways.
²⁴
“They are exalted for a little while, and then they are gone;
Moreover, they are brought low and like everything [they are] gathered up and taken out of the way;
Even like the heads of grain they are cut off.
