Job 20:15-28 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

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.

22. In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits; every hand of the wretched shall come upon him.

23. It shall be that, to fill his belly, he will cast his fierce anger upon him, and will rain it upon him into his flesh.

24. If he have fled from the iron weapon, the bow of brass shall strike him through.

25. He draweth it forth; it cometh out of his body, and the glittering point out of his gall: terrors are upon him.

26. All darkness is laid up for his treasures: a fire not blown shall devour him; it shall feed upon what is left in his tent.

27. The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.

28. The increase of his house shall depart, flowing away in the day of his anger.
