Job 27:13–23
13 “This his the portion of a wicked man with God,
And the heritage of oppressors, received from the Almighty:
14 iIf his children are multiplied, it is for the sword;
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15 Those who survive him shall be buried in death,
And jtheir 3widows shall not weep,
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust,
And piles up clothing like clay—
17 He may pile it up, but kthe just will wear it,
And the innocent will divide the silver.
18 He builds his house like a 4moth,
lLike a 5booth which a watchman makes.
19 The rich man will lie down,
6But not be gathered up;
He opens his eyes,
And he is mno more.
20 nTerrors overtake him like a flood;
A tempest steals him away in the night.
21 The east wind carries him away, and he is gone;
It sweeps him out of his place.
22 It hurls against him and does not ospare;
He flees desperately from its 7power.
23 Men shall clap their hands at him,
And shall hiss him out of his place.
