18. He is swift upon the face of the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he turneth not by the way of the vineyards.
19. Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth Sheol those which have sinned.
20. The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered: and unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree.
21. He devoureth the barren that beareth not; and doeth not good to the widow.
22. He draweth away the mighty also by his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
23. God giveth them to be in security, and they rest thereon; and his eyes are upon their ways.
24. They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone; yea, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all other, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
25. And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
