God’s Word Translation

Job 20:15-20

15He vomits up the riches that he swallowed. God forces them out of his stomach.

16The godless person sucks the poison of snakes. A viper’s fang kills him.

17He won’t be able to drink from the streams or from the rivers of honey and buttermilk.

18He will give back what he earned without enjoying it. He will get no joy from the profits of his business

19because he crushed and abandoned the poor. He has taken by force a house that he didn’t build.

20He will never know peace in his heart. He will never allow anything he desires to escape ⌞his grasp⌟.
