Job 20:12-21

Wickedness Turns to Poison

Job 20:12-21
12
"Wickedness may taste sweet in his mouth, he may savor and roll it around on his tongue,
13
he may linger over it and not let it go but keep it there in his mouth -
14
yet in his stomach his food goes bad, it works inside him like snake venom;
15
the wealth he swallows he vomits back up; God makes him disgorge it.
16
He sucks the poison of asps, the viper's fangs will kill him.
17
He will not enjoy the rivers, the streams flowing with honey and cream.
18
He will have to give back what he toiled for; he won't get to swallow it down -to the degree that he acquired wealth, he won't get to enjoy it.
19
"For he crushed and abandoned the poor, seizing houses he did not build,
20
because his appetite would not let him rest, in his greed he let nothing escape;
21
nothing is left that he did not devour; therefore his well-being will not last.
