Job 24:24

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

They are exalted for a moment, then they are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like heads of grain.

In context

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.

24 They are exalted for a moment, then they are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like heads of grain.

25 If this is not so, then who can prove me a liar and reduce my words to nothing?”
