Job 20:15–29

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.

²³When he is about to fill his belly,

God will cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him,

And will rain it upon him while he is eating.

²⁴He shall flee from the iron weapon,

And the bow of brass shall strike him through.

²⁵He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body;

Yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall:

Terrors are upon him.

²⁶All darkness is laid up for his treasures:

A fire not blown by man shall devour him;

It shall consume that which is left in his tent.

²⁷The heavens shall reveal his iniquity,

And the earth shall rise up against him.

²⁸The increase of his house shall depart;

His goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

²⁹This is the portion of a wicked man from God,

And the heritage appointed unto him by God.
