In context

19To them alone the earth was given, And no stranger came upon them.

20All the life of the ungodly is spent in care, And the years granted to the oppressor are numbered.

— Job 15:21 —

22Let him not trust that he shall return from darkness, For he has been already made over to the power of the sword.

23And he has been appointed to be food for vultures; And he knows within himself that he is doomed to be a carcass: And a dark day shall carry him away as with a whirlwind.
