Job 24:17-19

Contemporary English Version

¹⁷ They prefer night to day,
since the terrors of the night
    are their friends.

¹⁸ Those sinners are filthy foam
    on the surface of the water.
And so, their fields and vineyards
will fall under a curse
    and won't produce.
¹⁹ Just as the heat of summer
    swallows the snow,
the world of the dead
    swallows those who sin.
