Job 20:15-29
15He swallowsH1104 richesH2428, But will 1vomitH7006 them upH7006; GodH410 will expelH3423 them from his bellyH990.16He sucksH3243 2the poisonH7219 of cobrasH6620; The viper’sH660 tongueH3956 killsH2026 him.17He does not lookH7200 at 3the streamsH6390, The riversH5104 flowingH5158 with honeyH1706 and curdsH2529.18He 4returnsH7725 the productH3022 ofH3022 his laborH3022 And cannotH3808 swallowH1104 it; As to the richesH2428 of his tradingH8545, He cannotH3808 even enjoyH5965 them.19For he has 5oppressedH7533 and neglectedH5800 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 desiresH2530.21NothingH369 remainsH8300 8for him to devourH398, ThereforeH5921H3651 9his prosperityH2898 does not endureH2342.22In the fullnessH4390 of his excessH8231 he will be crampedH6887; The 10handH3027 of everyoneH3605 whoH6001 suffersH6001 will comeH935 against him.23When he 11fillsH4390 his bellyH990, God will sendH7971 His fierceH2740 angerH639 on him And 12rainH4305 it on him 13while he is eatingH3894.24He may 14fleeH1272 from the ironH1270 weaponH5402, But the bronzeH5154 bowH7198 will pierceH2498 him.25It is drawnH8025 and comesH3318 outH3318 of his backH1465, Even the flashingH1300 point from 15his gallbladderH4845; 16TerrorsH367 comeH1980 upon him,26CompleteH3605 17darknessH2822 is heldH2934 inH2934 reserveH2934 for his treasuresH6845, And unfannedH3808H5301 18fireH784 will devourH398 him; It will consumeH7462 the survivorH8300 in his tentH168.27The 19heavensH8064 will revealH1540 his guiltH5771, And the earthH776 will riseH6965 upH6965 against him.28The 20increaseH2981 of his houseH1004 will disappearH1540; His possessions will flowH5064 away 21on the dayH3117 of His angerH639.29ThisH2088 is a wickedH7563 person’sH120 22portionH2506 from GodH430, The inheritanceH5159 decreedH561 to him by GodH410.”
