Job 27:13-18

13“This is 1the portion of a wicked person from God, And the inheritance which 2tyrants receive from the Almighty:14Though his sons are many, 3they are destined 4for the sword; And his 5descendants will not be satisfied with bread.15His survivors will be buried because of the plague, And 6their 7widows will not be able to weep.16Though he piles up silver like dust, And prepares garments as plentiful as the clay,17He may prepare it, 8but the righteous will wear it And the innocent will divide the silver.18He has built his 9house like the 10spider’s web, Or a hut which the watchman has made.
