In context
18 They go quickly on the face of the waters; their heritage is cursed in the earth; the steps of the crusher of grapes are not turned to their vine-garden.
19 Snow waters become dry with the heat: so do sinners go down into the underworld.
20 The public place of his town has no more knowledge of him, and his name has gone from the memory of men: he is rooted up like a dead tree.
21 He is not kind to the widow, and he has no pity for her child.
22 But God by his power gives long life to the strong; he gets up again, though he has no hope of life.
23 He takes away his fear of danger and gives him support; and his eyes are on his ways.
24 For a short time they are lifted up; then they are gone; they are made low, they are pulled off like fruit, and like the heads of grain they are cut off.
