Job 20
11 Ref His bones are full of young strength, but it will go down with him into the dust.
12 Ref Though evil-doing is sweet in his mouth, and he keeps it secretly under his tongue;
13 Ref Though he takes care of it, and does not let it go, but keeps it still in his mouth;
14 Ref His food becomes bitter in his stomach; the poison of snakes is inside him.
15 Ref He takes down wealth as food, and sends it up again; it is forced out of his stomach by God.
16 Ref He takes the poison of snakes into his mouth, the tongue of the snake is the cause of his death.
17 Ref Let him not see the rivers of oil, the streams of honey and milk.
18 Ref He is forced to give back the fruit of his work, and may not take it for food; he has no joy in the profit of his trading.
19 Ref Because he has been cruel to the poor, turning away from them in their trouble; because he has taken a house by force which he did not put up;
20 Ref There is no peace for him in his wealth, and no salvation for him in those things in which he took delight.
21 Ref He had never enough for his desire; for this cause his well-being will quickly come to an end.
22 Ref Even when his wealth is great, he is full of care, for the hand of everyone who is in trouble is turned against him.
23 Ref God gives him his desire, and sends the heat of his wrath on him, making it come down on him like rain.
24 Ref He may go in flight from the iron spear, but the arrow from the bow of brass will go through him;
25 Ref He is pulling it out, and it comes out of his back; and its shining point comes out of his side; he is overcome by fears.
26 Ref All his wealth is stored up for the dark: a fire not made by man sends destruction on him, and on everything in his tent.
27 Ref The heavens make clear his sin, and the earth gives witness against him.
28 Ref The produce of his house is taken away into another country, like things given into the hands of others in the day of wrath.
29 Ref This is the reward of the evil man, and the heritage given to him by God.
