Job 20:8-16 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

8. Like a dream he takes flight and cannot be found;he fades away like a vision of the night.

9. The eye which saw him does so no more;nor shall his dwelling again behold him.

10. His sons will restore to the poor,and his hands will yield up his riches.

11. Though his bones are full of youthful vigor,it shall lie with him in the dust.

12. Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth,and he hides it under his tongue,

13. Though he retains it and will not let it gobut keeps it still within his mouth,

14. Yet in his stomach the food shall turn;it shall be venom of asps inside him.

15. The riches he swallowed he shall vomit up;God shall make his belly disgorge them.

16. The poison of asps he shall drink in;the viper’s fangs shall slay him.
