Job 27:11-23

11I will teach you concerning the hand of God;
awhat is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
12Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves;
why then have you become altogether vain?
13 bThis is the portion of a wicked man with God,
and the heritage that coppressors receive from the Almighty:
14If his dchildren are multiplied, it is for ethe sword,
and his descendants have not enough bread.
15Those who survive him the pestilence buries,
and his fwidows do not weep.
16Though he gheap up silver like dust,
and pile up clothing like clay,
17he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,
and hthe innocent will divide the silver.
18He builds his ihouse like a moth’s,
like ja booth that ka watchman makes.
19He goes to bed rich, but will ldo so no more;
he opens his eyes, and mhis wealth is gone.
20 nTerrors overtake him like oa flood;
in the night a whirlwind pcarries him off.
21 qThe east wind lifts him up and he is gone;
it rsweeps him out of his place.
22It
Or He (that is, God); also verse 23
hurls at him twithout pity;
he flees from its
Or his; also verse 23
power in headlong flight.
23It vclaps its hands at him
and whisses at him from its place.
