20Ahab said to Elijah, ^b“Have you found me, O my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because ^cyou have sold yourself to do what is evil in the sight of the Lord.

Job 20:19-29

19For he has crushed and abandoned the poor;
he has seized a house that he did not build.
20 “Because he ^dknew no ^econtentment in his belly,
^fhe will not let anything in which he delights escape him.
21There was nothing left after he had eaten;
therefore his prosperity will not endure.
22In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be in distress;
the hand of everyone in misery will come against him.
23To fill his belly to the full,
God ▼

▼Hebrew he

will send his burning anger against him
and rain it upon him ^hinto his body.
24 ⁱHe will flee from an iron weapon;
^ja bronze arrow will strike ^khim through.
25It ^lis drawn forth and comes out of his body;
^mthe glittering point comes out of his ⁿgallbladder;
^oterrors come upon him.
26Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures;
^pa fire not fanned will devour him;
what is left in his tent will be consumed.
27 ^qThe heavens will reveal his iniquity,
and the earth will rise up against him.
28The possessions of his house will be carried away,
dragged off in the day of God’s ▼

▼Hebrew his

wrath.
29 ^sThis is the wicked man’s portion from God,
^tthe heritage decreed for him by God.”

Job 27:8-23

8 ^uFor what is the hope of the godless ^vwhen God cuts him off,
when God takes away his life?
9 ^wWill God hear his cry
when distress comes upon him?
10Will he ^xtake delight in the Almighty?
Will he call upon God at all times?
11I will teach you concerning the hand of God;
^ywhat is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
12Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves;
why then have you become altogether vain?
13 ^z“This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
and the heritage that ^aaoppressors receive from the Almighty:
14If his ^abchildren are multiplied, it is for ^acthe sword,
and his descendants have not enough bread.
15Those who survive him the pestilence buries,
and his ^adwidows do not weep.
16Though he ^aeheap up silver like dust,
and pile up clothing like clay,
17he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,
and ^afthe innocent will divide the silver.
18He builds his ^aghouse like a moth’s,
like ^aha booth that ^aia watchman makes.
19He goes to bed rich, but will ^ajdo so no more;
he opens his eyes, and ^akhis wealth is gone.
20 ^alTerrors overtake him like ^ama flood;
in the night a whirlwind ^ancarries him off.
21 ^aoThe east wind lifts him up and he is gone;
it ^apsweeps him out of his place.
22It ▼

▼Or He (that is, God); also verse 23

hurls at him ^arwithout pity;
he flees from its ▼

▼Or his; also verse 23

power in headlong flight.
23It ^atclaps its hands at him
and ^auhisses at him from its place.

Psalms 10:17-18

17O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted;
you will ^avstrengthen their heart; you will incline your ear
18to ^awdo justice to the fatherless and ^axthe oppressed,
so that ^ayman who is of the earth may strike terror no more.

Psalms 12:5

5 “Because ^azthe poor are plundered, because the needy groan,
^baI will now arise,” says the Lord;
“I will place him in the ^bbsafety for which he longs.”

Psalms 58:10-11

10 ^bcThe righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
he will ^bdbathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11Mankind will say, “Surely there is ^bea reward for the righteous;
surely there is a God who ^bfjudges on earth.”
