19 As the dry ground and heat consume the snow waters, so shall the grave [a]the sinners.

20 [b]The pitiful man shall forget him: the worm shall feel his sweetness: he shall be no more remembered, and the wicked shall be broken like a tree.

21 He [c]doth evil entreat the barren that doth not bear, neither doeth he good to the widow.
