Job 24:19

Read in context

Job 24:17–21 · Berean Standard Bible

17 For to them, deep darkness is their morning; surely they are friends with the terrors of darkness!

18 They are but foam on the surface of the water; their portion of the land is cursed, so that no one turns toward their vineyards.

19 As drought and heat consume the melting snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned.

20 The womb forgets them; the worm feeds on them; they are remembered no more. So injustice is like a broken tree.

21 They prey on the barren and childless, and show no kindness to the widow.
