18. Swiftly they pass away upon the face of the waters; Their portion is cursed in the earth: They turn not into the way of the vineyards.
19. Drought and heat consume the snow waters: So doth Sheol those that 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. Yet God preserveth the mighty by his power: He riseth up that hath no assurance 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 others, And are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
25. And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar, And make my speech nothing worth?
