Scripture focus
18. He [is] swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards. 19. Drought and heat consume the snow waters: [so doth] the grave [those which] have sinned. 20. The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
Job 24:18-20 — KJV
Swift as the waters. This vivid phrase may suggest the figure of a light boat, or a piece of flotsam, or any other light object that moves noiselessly along the surface of the water. The quiet, rapid movements of a thief are compared with these. Or the idea may be that the wicked will be swept away like debris on a swifting-flowing river.
Their portion. That is, their manner of life, their way of obtaining a livelihood is deserving of execration.
The vineyards. Their vineyards will not produce. They have lived by plunder, and they deserve no subsistence from their wine presses.
