Job 20:15-29

15He swallows riches, But will 1vomit them up; God will expel them from his belly.16He sucks 2the poison of cobras; The viper’s tongue kills him.17He does not look at 3the streams, The rivers flowing with honey and curds.18He 4returns the product of his labor And cannot swallow it; As to the riches of his trading, He cannot even enjoy them.19For he has 5oppressed and neglected the poor; He has seized a house which he has not built.

20“Because he knew no quiet 6within him, He does 7not retain anything he desires.21Nothing remains 8for him to devour, Therefore 9his prosperity does not endure.22In the fullness of his excess he will be cramped; The 10hand of everyone who suffers will come against him.23When he 11fills his belly, God will send His fierce anger on him And 12rain it on him 13while he is eating.24He may 14flee from the iron weapon, But the bronze bow will pierce him.25It is drawn and comes out of his back, Even the flashing point from 15his gallbladder; 16Terrors come upon him,26Complete 17darkness is held in reserve for his treasures, And unfanned 18fire will devour him; It will consume the survivor in his tent.27The 19heavens will reveal his guilt, And the earth will rise up against him.28The 20increase of his house will disappear; His possessions will flow away 21on the day of His anger.29This is a wicked person’s 22portion from God, The inheritance decreed to him by God.”
