Job 24:19

Job's Eighth Speech, Continued

¹⁸ They float on the surface of the water.
Their section of the land is cursed,
so that they never go to their vineyards.
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.
