Job 20:12-22

12 Though evil is sweet in his mouth,
though he hides it aunder his tongue,
13though he is loath to let it go
and holds it in his mouth,
14yet his food is turned in his stomach;
it is the venom of bcobras within him.
15He swallows down riches and vomits them up again;
God casts them out of his belly.
16He will suck the poison of cobras;
cthe tongue of a viper will kill him.
17He will not look upon dthe rivers,
the streams flowing with ehoney and fcurds.
18He will ggive back the fruit of his toil
and will not hswallow it down;
from the profit of his trading
he will get no enjoyment.
19For he has crushed and abandoned the poor;
he has seized a house that he did not build.
20 Because he iknew no jcontentment in his belly,
khe 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.
