Job 24:19 Cross References - BBE

¹⁹ Snow waters become dry with the heat: so do sinners go down into the underworld.

¹⁵ My friends have been false like a stream, like streams in the valleys which come to an end: ¹⁶ Which are dark because of the ice, and the snow falling into them; ¹⁷ Under the burning sun they are cut off, and come to nothing because of the heat.

¹³ Their days come to an end without trouble, and suddenly they go down to the underworld.

²³ One comes to his end in complete well-being, full of peace and quiet:

³² He is taken to his last resting-place, and keeps watch over it. ³³ The earth of the valley covering his bones is sweet to him, and all men come after him, as there were unnumbered before him. ³⁴ Why then do you give me comfort with words in which there is no profit, when you see that there is nothing in your answers but deceit?

² Let them be like smoke before the driving wind; as wax turning soft before the fire, so let them come to an end before the power of God.

⁴ For him who is joined to all the living there is hope; a living dog is better than a dead lion. ⁵ The living are conscious that death will come to them, but the dead are not conscious of anything, and they no longer have a reward, because there is no memory of them. ⁶ Their love and their hate and their envy are now ended; and they have no longer a part for ever in anything which is done under the sun.

²⁰ But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?
