Job 20:15-20

15He swallowsH1104 richesH2428, But will 1vomitH7006 them up; GodH410 will expelH3423 them from his bellyH990.16He sucksH3243 2the poisonH7219 of cobrasH6620; The viper’sH660 tongueH3956 slaysH2026 him.17He does not lookH7200 at 3the streamsH6390, The riversH5104 flowingH5158 with honeyH1706 and curdsH2529.18He 4returnsH7725 whatH3022 he has attainedH3022 And cannotH3808 swallowH1104 it; As to the richesH2428 of his tradingH8545, He cannotH3808 even enjoyH5965 them.19For he has 5oppressedH7533 and forsakenH5800 the poorH1800; He has seizedH1497 a houseH1004 which he has not builtH1129.

20“BecauseH3588 he knewH3045 noH3808 quietH7961 6withinH990 him, He does 7not retainH4422 anything he desiresH2530.
