Job 24

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.

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