19As heat and drought snatch away the melted snow,

so the grave snatches away those who have sinned.

19“Dryness and heat snatch away the snow waters,

As 24:19 I.e., the netherworldSheol snatches those who have sinned.

19Drought and heat consume the snow waters,

So does Sheol those who have sinned.

19“Drought and heat consume the snow waters;

So does Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) [consume] those who have sinned.

so Sheol steals those who have sinned.

And sinners disappear when they go down into their graves.
