20 The womb forgets them,the worm feasts on them;the wicked are no longer rememberedbut are broken like a tree.
21 They prey on the barren and childless woman,and to the widow they show no kindness.
22 But God drags away the mighty by his power;though they become established, they have no assurance of life.
23 He may let them rest in a feeling of security,but his eyes are on their ways.
24 For a little while they are exalted, and then they are gone;they are brought low and gathered up like all others;they are cut off like ears of corn.
25 ‘If this is not so, who can prove me falseand reduce my words to nothing?’
