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 24:22-25
Reply of Job to the opinion of the friends. Experience proves the contrary. Translate: "But He (God) prolongeth the life of (literally, draweth out at length; Psalms 36:10, Margin) the mighty with His (God's) power. He (the wicked) riseth up (from his sick bed) although he had given up hope of (literally, when he no longer believed in) life" (Deuteronomy 28:66).
