New International Version (NIV)

20The womb forgets them,

the worm feasts on them;

the wicked are no longer remembered

but are broken like a tree.

20“A 24:20 Lit wombmother will forget him;

The maggot feeds sweetly until he is no longer remembered.

And injustice will be broken like a tree.

20A mother will forget him;

The worm feeds sweetly till he is no longer remembered.

And wickedness will be broken like a tree.

20“A mother will forget him;

The worm feeds on him until he is no longer remembered.

And wickedness will be broken like a tree [which cannot be restored]. [Prov 10:7]

20The womb forgets them;

the worm feeds on them;

they are remembered no more.

So injustice is broken like a tree.

20Even their mothers forget them.

The worms in their graves eat them up.

No one remembers sinful people anymore.

They are cut down like trees.
