[18] He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards. [19] Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned. [20] The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. [21] He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. [22] He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life. [23] Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways. [24] They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. [25] And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
