Job 24:21
World English Bible (WEB)
He devours the barren who don’t bear. He shows no kindness to the widow.
In context
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters, so does Sheol those who have sinned.
20 The womb will forget him. The worm will feed sweetly on him. He will be no more remembered. Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.
21 He devours the barren who don’t bear. He shows no kindness to the widow.
22 Yet God preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
23 God gives them security, and they rest in it. His eyes are on their ways.
