Job 20:12–22

¹²Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth,

Though he hide it under his tongue,

¹³Though he spare it, and will not let it go,

But keep it still within his mouth;

¹⁴Yet his food in his bowels is turned,

It is the gall of asps within him.

¹⁵He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again;

God will cast them out of his belly.

¹⁶He shall suck the poison of asps:

The viper’s tongue shall slay him.

¹⁷He shall not look upon the rivers,

The flowing streams of honey and butter.

¹⁸That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down;

According to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.

¹⁹For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor;

He hath violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.

²⁰Because he knew no quietness within him,

He shall not save aught of that wherein he delighteth.

²¹There was nothing left that he devoured not;

Therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

²²In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits:

The hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.
