Job 24:22-24

Contemporary English Version

²² But God's mighty strength
    destroys those in power.
Even if they seem successful,
    they are doomed to fail.
²³ God may let them feel secure,
but they are never
    out of his sight.
²⁴ Great for a while; gone forever!
Sinners are mowed down
    like weeds,
    then they wither and die.
