English Standard Version
Job 27:13-23
13"This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage that oppressors receive from the Almighty:
14If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword, and his descendants have not enough bread.
15Those who survive him the pestilence buries, and his widows do not weep.
16Though he heap up silver like dust, and pile up clothing like clay,
17he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it, and the innocent will divide the silver.
18He builds his house like a moth's, like a booth that a watchman makes.
19He goes to bed rich, but will do so no more; he opens his eyes, and his wealth is gone.
20Terrors overtake him like a flood; in the night a whirlwind carries him off.
21The east wind lifts him up and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
22It hurls at him without pity; he flees from its power in headlong flight.
23It claps its hands at him and hisses at him from its place.
