Job 20:10-22

Job 20:10-22

10
His sons will seek the favor of the poor, for his own hands must return his wealth.
11
The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie down with him in the dust.
12
Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he conceals it under his tongue,
13
though he cannot bear to let it go and keeps it in his mouth,
14
yet in his stomach his food sours into the venom of cobras within him.
15
He swallows wealth but vomits it out; God will force it from his stomach.
16
He will suck the poison of cobras; the fangs of a viper will kill him.
17
He will not enjoy the streams, the rivers flowing with honey and cream.
18
He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it; he cannot enjoy the profits of his trading.
19
For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; he has seized houses he did not build.
20
Because his appetite is never satisfied, he cannot escape with his treasure.
21
Nothing is left for him to consume; thus his prosperity will not endure.
22
In the midst of his plenty, he will be distressed; the full force of misery will come upon him.
