Job 24:22

Read in context

Job 24:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

22 Yet by His power, God drags away the mighty; though rising up, they have no assurance of life.

23 He gives them a sense of security, but His eyes are on their ways.

24 They are exalted for a moment, then they are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like heads of grain.
