Job 20:12 - 20:19
12
“Though evil is sweet in his mouth
And he hides it under his tongue,
13 Though he desires it and will not forsake it,
And holds it to his palate,
14 Yet his food in his stomach is changed
To the venom of cobras within him.
15 He swallows up wealth,
But will vomit it up;
God will expel it from his belly.
16 He sucks the poison of cobras;
The viper’s tongue kills him.
17 He does not look at the streams,
The rivers flowing with honey and curds.
18 He returns what he has attained
And cannot swallow it;
As to the wealth of his trading,
He cannot even enjoy it.
19 For he has crushed and forsaken the poor;
He has seized a house which he has not built.
