Job 20:20 - 20:29


20
“Because he knew no ease within his belly,
In his covetousness, he does not let anything escape.
21
Nothing remains for him to devour;
Therefore his prosperity does not endure.
22
In the fullness of his plenty he will be confined;
The hand of everyone who is troubled will come against him.
23
So it will be that he fills his belly,
And God will send His burning anger on him
And will rain it on him while he is eating.
24
He may flee from the iron weapon,
But the bronze bow will pierce him.
25
It is drawn forth and comes out of his back,
Even the glittering point from his gall;
Bouts of dread come upon him.
26
Complete darkness is held in reserve for his treasures;
A fire unfanned will devour him;
It will consume the survivor in his tent.
27
The heavens will reveal his iniquity,
And the earth will rise up against him.
28
The increase of his house will depart;
His possessions will flow away in the day of His anger.
29
This is the wicked man’s portion from God,
Even the inheritance decreed to him by God.”
