Amplified Bible

Job 20:14-22 Amplified Bible (AMP)

14. Yet his food turns [to poison] in his stomach; it is the venom of asps within him.

15. He has swallowed down [his ill-gotten] riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God will cast them out of his belly.

16. He shall suck the poison of asps [which ill-gotten wealth contains]; the viper's tongue shall slay him.

17. He shall not look upon the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter [to enjoy his wealth].

18. That which he labored for shall he give back and shall not swallow it down [to enjoy it]; according to his wealth shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice in it.

19. For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; he has violently taken away a house which he did not build.

20. Because his desire and greed knew no quietness within him, he will not save anything of that in which he delights.

21. There was nothing left that he did not devour; therefore his prosperity will not endure.

22. In the fullness of his sufficiency [in the time of his great abundance] he shall be poor and in straits; every hand of everyone who is in misery shall come upon him [he is but a wretch on every side].
