Job 24:20-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

20. Let mercy forget him. His charm is worms. Let him not be remembered, but instead be broken like an unfruitful tree.

21. For he has fed on the barren, who does not bear fruit, and he has not done good to the widow.

22. He has pulled down the strong by his strength, and, when he stands up, he will not have trust in his life.

23. God has given him a place for repentance, and he abuses it with arrogance, but his eyes are upon his ways.

24. They are lifted up for a little while, but they will not continue, and they will be brought low, just like all things, and they will be taken away, and, like the tops of the ears of grain, they will be crushed.

25. But, if this is not so, who is able to prove to me that I have lied and to place my words before God?
