Job 24:19

Job 24:19 in 10 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

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 Sheol snatches 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.

19As drought and heat consume the melting snow,

so Sheol steals those who have sinned.

19Drought and heat consume the snow waters:

So doth Sheol those that have sinned.

19As the dry ground and heate consume the snowe waters, so shall the graue the sinners.

19Drought and heat consume the snow waters,

so does Sheol those who have sinned.

19Melted snow disappears when the air is hot and dry.

And sinners disappear when they go down into their graves.

19 Snow soon disappears

when the weather is very hot or very dry.

In the same way, death quickly takes away people who do bad things.

19Drought—also heat—consume snow-waters, || Sheol—[those who] have sinned.
