Job 20:13-22 American Standard Version (ASV)

13. Though he spare it, and will not let it go, But keep it still within his mouth;

14. Yet his food in his bowels is turned, It is the gall of asps within him.

15. He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God will cast them out of his belly.

16. He shall suck the poison of asps: The viper’s tongue shall slay him.

17. He shall not look upon the rivers, The flowing streams of honey and butter.

18. That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down; According to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.

19. For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; He hath violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.

20. Because he knew no quietness within him, He shall not save aught of that wherein he delighteth.

21. There was nothing left that he devoured not; Therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

22. In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: The hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.
