According to the author of the book of Job, when the sun melts snow, it is like how the grave takes those who have done wrong things. Just like snow can't stop the sun, people can't escape the grave if they've been bad.

Job 24:19: Drought and heat consume the snow waters: [so doth] the grave [those which] have sinned. [consume: Heb. violently take]

Contradiction with Psalm 1:3

While Job 24:19 speaks of drought and heat consuming snow waters, indicating destruction, Psalm 1:3 describes a righteous person as a tree planted by water, signifying prosperity and stability.

Psalm 1:3: And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. [wither: Heb. fade]

Contradiction with Isaiah 55:10

Whereas Job 24:19 portrays water as being consumed and lost, Isaiah 55:10 emphasizes that rain and snow water the earth, leading to growth and abundance, thus presenting a regenerating rather than consuming force.

Isaiah 55:10: For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

Contradiction with John 7:38

Job 24:19 implies that the heat ultimately destroys water, but John 7:38 speaks to an enduring source of living water flowing from within believers, suggesting continuity and resilience rather than consumption.

John 7:38: He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Contradiction with Revelation 22:1

Job 24:19 highlights the transient nature of snow water, but Revelation 22:1 describes a river of water of life that flows endlessly, offering a vision of perpetual clarity and sustenance.

Revelation 22:1: And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
