Job 24:19-21

Revised Standard Version

¹⁹Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters;
    so does Sheol those who have sinned.
²⁰The squares of the town^[a] forget them;
    their name^[b] is no longer remembered;
    so wickedness is broken like a tree.’

²¹“They feed on the barren childless woman,
and do no good to the widow.
