Iyov 24:20-25 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

20. The rechem (womb) shall forget him; the worm shall feast on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken like an etz.

21. He plundereth the barren that beareth not; and doeth not good to the almanah.

22. He drags away also the mighty with his ko'ach; he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.

23. Though it be given him to be in safety, and he be sustained, yet His eynayim are upon their ways.

24. They are exalted me'at (for a little while), then they are no more and are withered and snatched away like all others, and cut off like the tops of the ears of grain.

25. And if it be not so, who will charge me with lying, and make my milah (word) worth nothing? [T.N. Notice the question answered by Romans, Galatians, and Gn 15:6 as well as Chabakuk 2:4 is stated in Job 25:4 below; see Ephesians 2:8-9 and Ro 3:24,26, 28; 4:2; 5:1,9; Ga 2:16,17; 3:11, 24; 5:4; Ti 3:7; this the most important question raised in the Bible: it is for eternity]
