Job 20:16–17

16 He will suck the poison of serpents;

the fangs of an adder will kill him.

17 He will not enjoy the streams,

the rivers flowing with honey and cream.

16 He shall suck the poison of asps:

The viper’s tongue shall slay him.

17 He shall not see the rivers,

The floods, the brooks of honey and butter.

16 They will suck the poison of cobras.

The viper will kill them.

17 They will never again enjoy streams of olive oil

or rivers of milk and honey.

16 He will suck the poison of cobras;

The viper’s tongue will slay him.

17 He will not see the streams,

The rivers flowing with honey and cream.

16 They will suck the poison of snakes,

and the snake’s fangs will kill them.

17 They will not admire the sparkling streams

or the rivers flowing with honey and cream.

16 He shall suck the poison of asps:

The viper’s tongue shall slay him.

17 He shall not look upon the rivers,

The flowing streams of honey and butter.

16 He shall suck the poison of asps; the viper’s tongue shall kill him. 17 He shall not see streams, rivers, brooks of honey and butter.

the viper’s tongue will kill him.

the torrents of honey and curds.
