Job 20:5-16

5 athat the exulting of the wicked is short,
and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6 bThough his height mount up to the heavens,
and his head reach to the clouds,
7he will perish forever like his own cdung;
those who have seen him will say, dWhere is he?’
8He will fly away like ea dream and not be found;
he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
9 fThe eye that saw him will see him no more,
nor will his place any more behold him.
10His children will seek the favor of the poor,
and his hands will ggive back his wealth.
11His bones are full of his hyouthful vigor,
but it will lie idown with him in the dust.
12 Though evil is sweet in his mouth,
though he hides it junder 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 kcobras 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;
lthe tongue of a viper will kill him.
