Job 24:22-24

Expanded Bible

²² But God drags away the strong by his power.
    Even though they ·seem strong [^Lrise up], they ·do not know how long they will live [^Lcan have no confidence in life].
²³ God may ·let these evil people feel safe [give them security they can lean on],
    but ·he is watching [^Lhis eyes are on] their ways.
²⁴ For a little while they are ·important [exalted], and then ·they die [^Lare no more];
    they ·are laid low [or give in] and ·buried [^Lare gathered/drawn in] like everyone else;
    they ·are cut off [or wither] like the heads of grain.
