Job 24:18
16 In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in, never to experience the light.
17 For to them, deep darkness is their morning; surely they are friends with the terrors of darkness!
They are but foam on the surface of the water; their portion of the land is cursed, so that no one turns toward their vineyards.
19 As drought and heat consume the melting snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned.
20 The womb forgets them; the worm feeds on them; they are remembered no more. So injustice is like a broken tree.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
