19 Drought and heat [a]consume the snow waters:
So doth Sheol those that have sinned.
20 The womb shall forget him;
The worm shall feed sweetly on him;
He shall be no more remembered;
And unrighteousness shall be broken [b]as a tree.
21 He devoureth the barren that beareth not,
And doeth not good to the widow.
