Job 24:22-24

New Century Version

²² But God drags away the strong by his power.
    Even though they seem strong, they do not know how long they will live.
²³ God may let these evil people feel safe,
    but he is watching their ways.
²⁴ For a little while they are important, and then they die;
    they are laid low and buried like everyone else;
    they are cut off like the heads of grain.
