The worm should feed sweetly on him;
aHe should be remembered no more,
And wickedness should be broken like a tree.
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.
And make my speech worth nothing?”
| << Job 24:20 | Job 24:22 >> |
