Job 24:22 Context
20The wombe shall forget him, the worme shall feed sweetly on him, hee shall be no more remembred, and wickednes shalbe broken as a tree. 21He euill intreateth the barren, that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow. 22He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth vp, and no man is sure of life. 23Though it be giuen him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are vpon their wayes. 24They are exalted for a litle while, but are gone and brought low, they are taken out of the way as al other, and cut off as the tops of the eares of corne.
