Job 5:5

5The hungry eat his harvest,
and he takes it even out of thorns,
The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain

and the thirsty pant
Aquila, Symmachus, Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew could be read as  and the snare pants
after his
Hebrew their
wealth.

Job 20:15-29

15He swallows down riches and vomits them up again;
God casts them out of his belly.
16He will suck the poison of cobras;
dthe tongue of a viper will kill him.
17He will not look upon ethe rivers,
the streams flowing with fhoney and gcurds.
18He will hgive back the fruit of his toil
and will not iswallow 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 jknew no kcontentment in his belly,
lhe 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 ninto his body.
24 oHe will flee from an iron weapon;
pa bronze arrow will strike qhim through.
25It ris drawn forth and comes out of his body;
sthe glittering point comes out of his tgallbladder;
uterrors come upon him.
26Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures;
va fire not fanned will devour him;
what is left in his tent will be consumed.
27 wThe 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 yThis is the wicked man’s portion from God,
zthe heritage decreed for him by God.”

Job 27:16-17

16Though he aaheap up silver like dust,
and pile up clothing like clay,
17he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,
and abthe innocent will divide the silver.

Psalms 39:6

6Surely a man acgoes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing
Hebrew  Surely as a breath
they are in turmoil;
man aeheaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!

Proverbs 23:5

5When your eyes light on it, it is gone,
affor suddenly it sprouts wings,
flying like an eagle toward heaven.

Ecclesiastes 2:26

26For to the one who pleases him agGod has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given ahthe business of gathering and collecting, aionly to give to one who pleases God. ajThis also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Haggai 1:9

9 akYou looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, alI blew it away. Why? declares the Lord of hosts. Because of my house amthat lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house.
