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 they are 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?
