Job 24:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷Darkness is like morning to all these evil people.
They make friends with the terrors of darkness.

¹⁸“They are like foam floating on the water.
    Their part of the land is cursed.
    No one uses the road that goes by their vineyards.
¹⁹Heat and dryness quickly take away the melted snow.
    In the same way, the place for the dead quickly takes away those who have sinned.
