Job 20:8-14 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. Like a dream that flies away, he will not be found; he will pass away like a nightmare.

9. The eyes that had seen him, will not see him; no longer will his own place admire him.

10. His sons will be worn away by poverty, and his own hands will deliver his grief to him.

11. His bones will be filled with the vices of his youth, and they will sleep with him in the dust.

12. For, when evil will be sweet in his mouth, he will hide it under his tongue.

13. He will permit it, and not abandon it, and he will conceal it in his throat.

14. His bread in his belly will be turned into the venom of snakes within him.
