19 As drought and heat [a]consume the snow waters,
So [b]the grave consumes those who have sinned.
20 The womb should forget him,
The worm should feed sweetly on him;
(A)He should be remembered no more,
And wickedness should be broken like a tree.
21 For he [c]preys on the barren who do not bear,
And does no good for the widow.
