Job 20:15–29

¹⁵The riches which he hath swallowed, he shall vomit up, and God shall draw them out of his belly.

¹⁶He shall suck the head of asps, and the viper’s tongue shall kill him.

¹⁷Let him not see the streams of the river, the brooks of honey and of butter.

¹⁸He shall be punished for all that he did, and yet shall not be consumed: according to the multitude of his devices so also shall he suffer.

¹⁹Because he broke in and stripped the poor: he hath violently taken away a house which he did not build.

²⁰And yet his belly was not filled: and when he hath the things he coveted, he shall not be able to possess them.

²¹There was nothing left of his meat, and therefore nothing shall continue of his goods:

²²When he shall be filled, he shall be straitened, he shall burn, and every sorrow shall fall upon him.

²³May his belly be filled, that God may send forth the wrath of his indignation upon him, and rain down his war upon him.

²⁴He shall flee from weapons of iron, and shall fall upon a bow of brass.

²⁵The sword is drawn out, and cometh forth from its scabbard, and glittereth in his bitterness: the terrible ones shall go and come upon him.

²⁶All darkness is hid in his secret places: a fire that is not kindled shall devour him, he shall be afflicted when left in his tabernacle.

²⁷The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.

²⁸The offspring of his house shall be exposed, he shall be pulled down in the day of God’s wrath.

²⁹This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the inheritance of his doings from the Lord.
