Job 20:12–22

¹²Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth,

Though he hide it under his tongue;

¹³Though he spare it, and forsake it not;

But keep it still ^†within his mouth:

¹⁴Yet his meat in his bowels is turned,

It is the gall of ^rasps within him.

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

God shall cast them out of his belly.

¹⁶He shall suck ^rthe poison of asps:

The ^sviper’s tongue shall slay him.

^17tHe shall not see the rivers,

^||The floods, the ^ubrooks of ^xhoney and ^xbutter.

¹⁸That which he laboured for ^yshall he restore, and shall not ^zswallow it down:

^†According to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.

¹⁹Because he hath ^†oppressed and hath forsaken the poor;

Because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;

²⁰Surely he shall not ^†feel ^aquietness in his belly,

He shall not save of ^bthat which he desired.

^21||There shall none of his meat be left;

Therefore shall no man look for his goods.

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

Every hand of the ^||wicked shall come upon him.
