Job 20:10-21 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

10. His children shall seek the favour of the poor, and his hands restore his wealth.

11. His bones were full of his youthful strength; but it shall lie down with him in the dust.

12. Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth and he hide it under his tongue,

13. Though he spare it, and forsake it not, but keep it within his mouth,

14. His food is turned in his bowels; it is the gall of asps within him.

15. He hath swallowed down riches, but he shall vomit them up again: ·God shall cast them out of his belly.

16. He shall suck the poison of asps; the viper's tongue shall kill him.

17. He shall not see streams, rivers, brooks of honey and butter.

18. That which he laboured for shall he restore, and not swallow down; its restitution shall be according to the value, and he shall not rejoice therein.

19. For he hath oppressed, hath forsaken the poor; he hath violently taken away a house that he did not build.

20. Because he knew no rest in his craving, he shall save nought of what he most desired.

21. Nothing escaped his greediness; therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
