Job 20:14-18

14Yet his food turns [to poison] in his stomach; It is the venom of vipers within him.

15He swallows [his ill-gotten] riches, But will vomit them up; God will drive them out of his belly.

16He sucks the poison of vipers [which ill-gotten wealth contains]; The viper’s tongue slays him.

17He does not look at the rivers, The flowing streams of honey and butter [to enjoy his wealth].

18He gives back what he has labored for and attained And cannot swallow it [down to enjoy it]; As to the riches of his labor, He cannot even enjoy them.
