Job 24:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 24:21

19 As drought and heat¹ consume the snow waters,
So¹ the grave consumes those who have sinned.

20 The womb should forget him,
The worm should feed sweetly on him;
^aHe should be remembered no more,
And wickedness should be broken like a tree.

21 For he¹ preys on the barren who do not bear,
And does no good for the widow.

22 “But God draws the mighty away with His power;
He rises up, but no man is sure of life.

23 He gives them security, and they rely on it;
Yet ^aHis eyes are on their ways.

24 They are¹ exalted for a little while,
Then they are gone.
They are brought low;
They are taken out of the way like all others;
They dry out like the heads of grain.

25 “Now if it is not so, who will prove me a liar,
And make my speech worth nothing?”
