New Century Version

Job 20:12-17 New Century Version (NCV)

12. “Evil may taste sweet in their mouths,and they may hide it under their tongues.

13. They cannot stand to let go of it;they keep it in their mouths.

14. But their food will turn sour in their stomachs,like the poison of a snake inside them.

15. They have swallowed riches, but they will spit them out;God will make them vomit their riches up.

16. They will suck the poison of snakes,and the snake’s fangs will kill them.

17. They will not admire the sparkling streamsor the rivers flowing with honey and cream.
