18 “They are insignificant on the surface of the water;
Their portion is cursed on the earth.
They do not turn toward the vineyards.
19 Drought and heat seize the snow waters,
So does Sheol those who have sinned.
20 A mother will forget him;
The worm feasts sweetly till he is no longer remembered.
And unrighteousness will be broken like a tree.
21 He feeds on the barren woman who does not give birth
And does no good for the widow.
22 But He drags off the mighty by His power;
He rises, but no one believes in his life.
23 He provides them with security, and they are supported;
And His eyes are on their ways.
24 They are exalted a little while, then they are gone;
Moreover, they are brought low and like everything gathered up;
Even like the heads of grain they are cut off.
25 Now if it is not so, who can prove me a liar,
And make my speech worthless?”
