22 God will drag away these mighty men by his power.
    These people may prosper,
        but they will never feel secure about life.
23 God may let them feel confident and self-reliant,
    but his eyes are on their ways.
24 Such people may be prosperous for a little while,
    but then they’re gone.
    They are brought down low and disappear like everything else.[a]
    They wither like heads of grain.
