Job 20:22–24

22 In the midst of his plenty, distress will overtake him;

the full force of misery will come upon him.

23 When he has filled his belly,

God will vent his burning anger against him

and rain down his blows on him.

24 Though he flees from an iron weapon,

a bronze-tipped arrow pierces him.

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

Every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.

23 When he is about to fill his belly,

God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him,

And shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

24 He shall flee from the iron weapon,

And the bow of steel shall strike him through.

22 “In the midst of plenty, they will run into trouble

and be overcome by misery.

23 May God give them a bellyful of trouble.

May God rain down his anger upon them.

24 When they try to escape an iron weapon,

a bronze-tipped arrow will pierce them.

22 In his self-sufficiency he will be in distress;

Every hand of misery will come against him.

23 When he is about to fill his stomach,

God will cast on him the fury of His wrath,

And will rain it on him while he is eating.

24 He will flee from the iron weapon;

A bronze bow will pierce him through.

22 When they still have plenty, trouble will catch up to them,

and great misery will come down on them.

23 When the wicked fill their stomachs,

God will send his burning anger against them,

and blows of punishment will fall on them like rain.

24 The wicked may run away from an iron weapon,

but a bronze arrow will stab them.

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

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

23 When 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.

24 He shall flee from the iron weapon,

And the bow of brass shall strike him through.

22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits; every hand of the wretched shall come upon him.

23 It shall be that, to fill his belly, he will cast his fierce anger upon him, and will rain it upon him into his flesh. 24 If he have fled from the iron weapon, the bow of brass shall strike him through.

22 ⸤Even⸥ with all his wealth 

the full force of misery comes down on him. 

23 Let that misery fill his belly. 

⸤God⸥ throws his burning anger at the godless person 

and makes his wrath come down on him like rain. 

24 If that person flees from an iron weapon, 

a bronze bow will pierce him. 

22 At the height of his success distress will come to him;

the full weight of misery will crush him.

23 When he fills his stomach,

God will send His burning anger against him,

raining it down on him while he is eating.

24 If he flees from an iron weapon,

an arrow from a bronze bow will pierce him.

22 In full sufficiency they will be in distress;

all the force of misery will come upon them.

23 To fill their belly to the full,

God will send his fierce anger into them

and rain it upon them as their food.

24 They will flee from an iron weapon;

a bronze arrow will strike them through.

22 In the fullness of his excess he will be in distress;

all of misery’s power will come upon him.

23 When his stomach fills up, God will send his burning anger upon him,

and he will let it rain down upon him as his food.

24 “He will flee from an iron weapon,

but an arrow of bronze will pierce him.

22 While they are enjoying the good life,

trouble will catch up with them.

Terrible suffering will come on them.

23 When they’ve filled their stomachs,

God will pour out his burning anger on them.

He’ll strike them down with blow after blow.

24 They might run away from iron weapons.

But arrows that have bronze tips will wound them.

22 “In the fullness of his plenty he will be cramped;

The hand of everyone who suffers will come against him.

23 “When he fills his belly,

God will send His fierce anger on him

And will rain it on him while he is eating.

24 “He may flee from the iron weapon,

But the bronze bow will pierce him.
