Job 20:10-29

10His childrenH1121 shall seek to pleaseH7521 the poorH1800, and his handsH3027 shall restoreH7725 their goodsH202.1 11His bonesH6106 are fullH4390 of the sin of his youthH5934, which shall lie downH7901 with him in the dustH6083. 12Though wickednessH7451 may be sweetH4985 in his mouthH6310, though he may hideH3582 it under his tongueH3956; 13Though he may spareH2550 it, and forsakeH5800 it not; but keep it stillH4513 withinH8432 his mouthH2441:2 14Yet his foodH3899 in his bodyH4578 is turnedH2015, it is the gallH4846 of aspsH6620 withinH7130 him. 15He hath swallowed downH1104 richesH2428, and he shall vomit them up againH6958: GodH410 shall cast them outH3423 of his bellyH990. 16He shall suckH3243 the poisonH7219 of aspsH6620: the viper’sH660 tongueH3956 shall slayH2026 him. 17He shall not seeH7200 the riversH6390, the floodsH5104, the brooksH5158 of honeyH1706 and butterH2529.3 18That which he labouredH3022 for shall he restoreH7725, and shall not swallow it downH1104: according to his substanceH2428 shall the restitutionH8545 be, and he shall not rejoiceH5965 in it .4 19Because he hath oppressedH7533 and hath forsakenH5800 the poorH1800; because he hath violently taken awayH1497 an houseH1004 which he did not buildH1129;5 20Surely he shall not feelH3045 quietnessH7961 in his bellyH990, he shall not saveH4422 of that which he desiredH2530.6 21There shall none of his foodH400 be leftH8300; therefore shall no man lookH2342 for his goodsH2898.7 22In the fulnessH4390 of his sufficiencyH5607 he shall be in straitsH3334: every handH3027 of the wickedH6001 shall comeH935 upon him.8

23When he is about to fillH4390 his bellyH990, God shall castH7971 the furyH2740 of his wrathH639 upon him, and shall rainH4305 it upon him while he is eatingH3894. 24He shall fleeH1272 from the ironH1270 weaponH5402, and the bowH7198 of steelH5154 shall strike him throughH2498. 25It is drawnH8025, and cometh outH3318 of the bodyH1465; yea, the glittering swordH1300 cometh outH1980 of his gallH4846: terrorsH367 are upon him. 26All darknessH2822 shall be hidH2934 in his secret placesH6845: a fireH784 not blownH5301 shall consumeH398 him; it shall go illH3415 with him that is leftH8300 in his tentH168. 27The heavenH8064 shall revealH1540 his iniquityH5771; and the earthH776 shall rise upH6965 against him. 28The increaseH2981 of his houseH1004 shall departH1540, and his goods shall flow awayH5064 in the dayH3117 of his wrathH639. 29This is the portionH2506 of a wickedH7563 manH120 from GodH430, and the heritageH5159 appointedH561 to him by GodH410.9
