18Swiftly 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.

19Drought and heat consume the snow waters: [So doth] Sheol [those that] have sinned.

20The 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.

21He devoureth the barren that beareth not, And doeth not good to the widow.

22Yet [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.

24They 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.
