Job 20:10-29
10His sonsH1121 will seek the favorH7521 of the poorH1800, for his own handsH3027 must returnH7725 his wealthH202.11The youthful vigorH5934 that fillsH4390 his bonesH6106 will lie downH7901 with himH5973 inH5921 the dustH6083.
12ThoughH518 evilH7451 is sweetH4985 in his mouthH6310and he concealsH3582 it underH8478 his tongueH3956,13though he cannot bearH2550H5921H3808 to let it goH5800and keepsH4513 it inH8432 his mouthH2441,14yet in his stomachH4578 his foodH3899 soursH2015into the venomH4846 of cobrasH6620 within himH7130.15He swallowsH1104 wealthH2428 but vomits it outH6958;GodH410 will force itH3423 from his stomachH990.16He will suckH3243 the poisonH7219 of cobrasH6620;the fangsH3956 of a viperH660 will kill himH2026.17He will notH408 enjoyH7200 the streamsH6390,the riversH5104 flowing withH5158 honeyH1706 and creamH2529.18He must returnH7725 the fruit of his laborH3022 withoutH3808 consuming itH1104;he cannotH3808 enjoyH5965 the profitsH2428 of his tradingH8545.19ForH3588 he has oppressedH7533 and forsakenH5800 the poorH1800;he has seizedH1497 housesH1004 he did notH3808 buildH1129.
20BecauseH3588 his appetiteH990 is neverH3808 satisfiedH3045H7961,he cannotH3808 escapeH4422 with his treasureH2530.21NothingH369 is leftH8300 for him to consumeH398;thusH5921H3651 his prosperityH2898 will notH3808 endureH2342.22In the midstH4390 of his plentyH5607, he will be distressedH3334;the fullH3605 forceH3027 of miseryH6001 will come upon himH935.23When heH1961 has filledH4390 his stomachH990,God will ventH7971 His furyH2740H639 upon him,raining it downH4305 on himH5921 as he eatsH3894.24Though he fleesH1272 from an ironH1270 weaponH5402,a bronze-tippedH5154 arrowH7198 will pierce himH2498.25It is drawnH8025 out ofH3318 his backH1465,the gleaming pointH1300 from his liverH4846.1TerrorsH367 comeH1980 over himH5921.26TotalH3605 darknessH2822 is reservedH2934 for his treasuresH6845.A fireH784 unfannedH3808H5301H3415 will consume himH398and devour what is leftH8300 in his tentH168.27The heavensH8064 will exposeH1540 his iniquityH5771,and the earthH776 will rise upH6965 against him.28The possessionsH2981 of his houseH1004 will be removedH1540,flowing awayH5064 on the dayH3117 of God’s wrathH639.
