For together - [is] morning for them deep darkness for he is acquainted with [the] terrors of deep darkness.
18 Light are they on the face of the waters; They have an accursed portion in the earth; They come not near the vineyards.
[is] swift He - on [the] surface of [the] waters it is cursed portion their in the land not anyone turns [the] direction of vineyards.
Drought also heat they snatch away [the] waters of snow Sheol [those who] they have sinned. (Sheol h7585)

They are exalted a little - and there not [is] he and they are brought low like everyone they are contracted! and like a head of grain they wither.

And if not then who? will he prove a liar me and will he make? into nothing speech my.
