Bible verse
As drought and heat consume the melting snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned.
Job 24:19 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 24.
15 The eye of the adulterer watches for twilight. Thinking, ‘No eye will see me,’ he covers his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in, never to experience the light.
17 For to them, deep darkness is their morning; surely they are friends with the terrors of darkness!
18 They are but foam on the surface of the water; their portion of the land is cursed, so that no one turns toward their vineyards.
19 As drought and heat consume the melting snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned.
20 The womb forgets them; the worm feeds on them; they are remembered no more. So injustice is like a broken tree.
21 They prey on the barren and childless, and show no kindness to the widow.
22 Yet by His power, God drags away the mighty; though rising up, they have no assurance of life.
23 He gives them a sense of security, but His eyes are on their ways.
