¹⁹ As ·heat and dryness [the desert and heat] ·quickly melt the snow [^Lsteal away the snow waters],
    so ·the grave [^LSheol] quickly takes away the sinners.

²⁰ ·Their mothers [^LThe womb] forget them,
    and worms ·will eat their bodies [^Lthink they are sweet].
They will not be remembered,
    so wickedness is broken in pieces like a ·stick [^Ltree; ^Cperhaps by wind or lightening; Ps. 29:5–6; Ezek. 17:24].
