Job 24:17-25
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 24

17For the morning is the same to him as thick darkness, For he is familiar with the terrors of thick darkness. 18'They are insignificant on the surface of the water; Their plot of land on the earth is cursed. They do not turn toward the vineyards. 19Dryness and heat snatch away the snow waters, As Sheol snatches those who have sinned. 20A mother will forget him; The maggot feeds sweetly until he is no longer remembered. And injustice will be broken like a tree. 21He wrongs the infertile woman, And does no good for the widow. 22But He drags off the mighty by His power; He rises, but no one has assurance of life. 23He provides them with security, and they are supported; And His eyes are on their ways. 24They are exalted a little while, then they are gone; Moreover, they are brought low, and like everything they are gathered up; Like the heads of grain they wither. 25Now if it is not so, who can prove me a liar, And make my speech worthless?'
King James Version

Chapter 24

17For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
19Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
20The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
21He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
22He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
23Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
24They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
25And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 24

17For the morning is like darkness to them. Surely they are familiar with the terrors of darkness! 18They float on the surface of the water. Their section of the land is cursed, so that they never go to their vineyards. 19As dry ground and heat snatch away the melted snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned. 20The womb forgets them; worms feed on them; they are remembered no more. So injustice is broken like a tree. 21They prey on the childless woman who is unable to conceive, and do not deal kindly with the widow. 22Yet God drags away the mighty by his power; when he rises up, they have no assurance of life. 23He gives them a sense of security, so they can rely on it, but his eyes watch over their ways.
24They are exalted for a moment, then gone; they are brought low and shrivel up like everything else. They wither like heads of grain. 25If this is not true, then who can prove me a liar and show that my speech is worthless?
New Living Translation

Chapter 24

17The black night is their morning. They ally themselves with the terrors of the darkness.
18'But they disappear like foam down a river. Everything they own is cursed, and they are afraid to enter their own vineyards. 19The grave consumes sinners just as drought and heat consume snow. 20Their own mothers will forget them. Maggots will find them sweet to eat. No one will remember them. Wicked people are broken like a tree in the storm. 21They cheat the woman who has no son to help her. They refuse to help the needy widow.
22'God, in his power, drags away the rich. They may rise high, but they have no assurance of life. 23They may be allowed to live in security, but God is always watching them. 24And though they are great now, in a moment they will be gone like all others, cut off like heads of grain. 25Can anyone claim otherwise? Who can prove me wrong?'
English Standard Version

Chapter 24

17For deep darkness is morning to all of them; for they are friends with the terrors of deep darkness. 18"You say, ‘Swift are they on the face of the waters; their portion is cursed in the land; no treader turns toward their vineyards. 19Drought and heat snatch away the snow waters; so does Sheol those who have sinned. 20The womb forgets them; the worm finds them sweet; they are no longer remembered, so wickedness is broken like a tree.’ 21"They wrong the barren, childless woman, and do no good to the widow. 22Yet God prolongs the life of the mighty by his power; they rise up when they despair of life. 23He gives them security, and they are supported, and his eyes are upon their ways. 24They are exalted a little while, and then are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like the heads of grain. 25If it is not so, who will prove me a liar and show that there is nothing in what I say?"
New International Version

Chapter 24

17For all of them, midnight is their morning; they make friends with the terrors of darkness. 18"Yet they are foam on the surface of the water; their portion of the land is cursed, so that no one goes to the vineyards. 19As heat and drought snatch away the melted snow, so the grave snatches away those who have sinned. 20The womb forgets them, the worm feasts on them; the wicked are no longer remembered but are broken like a tree. 21They prey on the barren and childless woman, and to the widow they show no kindness. 22But God drags away the mighty by his power; though they become established, they have no assurance of life. 23He may let them rest in a feeling of security, but his eyes are on their ways.
24For a little while they are exalted, and then they are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like heads of grain. 25"If this is not so, who can prove me false and reduce my words to nothing?"
New King James Version

Chapter 24

17For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death; If someone recognizes them, They are in the terrors of the shadow of death. 18“They should be swift on the face of the waters, Their portion should be cursed in the earth, So that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards. 19As drought and heat consume the snow waters, So the grave consumes those who have sinned. 20The womb should forget him, The worm should feed sweetly on him; He should be remembered no more, And wickedness should be broken like a tree. 21For he 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. 23He gives them security, and they rely on it; Yet His eyes are on their ways. 24They are 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?”
