Job 24:18 in context

  1. 16In the dark they dig through houses.

  2. 17For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness,
    for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
  3. 18“They are foam on the surface of the waters.
    Their portion is cursed in the earth.
    They don’t turn into the way of the vineyards.
  4. 19Drought and heat consume the snow waters,
    so does Sheol those who have sinned.
  5. 20The womb will forget him.
    The worm will feed sweetly on him.
    He will be no more remembered.
    Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.
