Job 20:19-29 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

19. Because he broke in and stripped the poor: he hath violently taken away a house which he did not build.

20. And yet his belly was not filled: and when he hath the things he coveted, he shall not be able to possess them.

21. There was nothing left of his meat, and therefore nothing shall continue of his goods:

22. When he shall be filled, he shall be straitened, he shall burn, and every sorrow shall fall upon him.

23. May his belly be filled, that God may send forth the wrath of his indignation upon him, and rain down his war upon him.

24. He shall flee from weapons of iron, and shall fall upon a bow of brass.

25. The sword is drawn out, and cometh forth from its scabbard, and glittereth in his bitterness: the terrible ones shall go and come upon him.

26. All darkness is hid in his secret places: a fire that is not kindled shall devour him, he shall be afflicted when left in his tabernacle.

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

28. The offspring of his house shall be exposed, he shall be pulled down in the day of God's wrath.

29. This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the inheritance of his doings from the Lord.
