Job 20:20-23, 27:8, Psa 73:19, 78:30, Dan 5:1-6, 25-30, Nah 1:10 | ESV | STEP | Because he knew no contentment in his belly , he will not let anything in which he delights escape him.

20 “Because he ^aknew no ^bcontentment in his belly,
^che will not let anything in which he delights escape him.
21 There was nothing left after he had eaten;
therefore his prosperity will not endure.
22 In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be in distress;
the hand of everyone in misery will come against him.
23 To fill his belly to the full,
God ^{▼▼Hebrew he} will send his burning anger against him
and rain it upon him ^einto his body.

Job 27:8

8 ^fFor what is the hope of the godless ^gwhen God cuts him off,
when God takes away his life?

Psalms 73:19

19 How they are destroyed ^hin a moment,
swept away utterly by ⁱterrors!

Psalms 78:30

30 But before they had satisfied their craving,
^jwhile the food was still in their mouths,

Daniel 5:1-6

The Handwriting on the Wall

1 ^kKing Belshazzar ^lmade a great feast for a thousand of his ^mlords and drank wine in front of the thousand.

2 ⁿBelshazzar, when he tasted the wine, commanded that ^othe vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father ^{▼▼Or predecessor; also verses 11, 13, 18} had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them. 3 Then they brought in ^qthe golden vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them. 4 They drank wine and ^rpraised the ^sgods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.

5 ^tImmediately ^uthe fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, opposite the lampstand. And the king saw ^vthe hand as it wrote. 6 ^wThen the king’s color changed, ^xand his thoughts alarmed him; ^yhis limbs gave way, and ^zhis knees knocked together.

Daniel 5:25-30

25 And this is the writing that was inscribed: Mene, Mene, Tekel, and Parsin. 26 This is the interpretation of the matter: Mene, God has numbered ^{▼▼ Mene sounds like the Aramaic for numbered} the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; 27 Tekel, ^abyou have been weighed ^{▼▼ Tekel sounds like the Aramaic for weighed} in the balances and found wanting; 28 Peres, your kingdom is divided and given to ^adthe Medes and ^aePersians.” ^{▼▼ Peres (the singular of Parsin) sounds like the Aramaic for divided and for Persia}

29 Then ^agBelshazzar gave the command, and Daniel ^ahwas clothed with purple, a chain of gold was put around his neck, and a proclamation was made about him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

30 ^aiThat very night ^ajBelshazzar the ^akChaldean king was killed.

Nahum 1:10

10 For they are ^allike entangled thorns,
like drunkards as they drink;
^amthey are consumed like stubble fully dried.
