King James Version

Job 20:15-20

15He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

16He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him.

17He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.1

18That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.2

19Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;3

20Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.4
