Job 27:14-22 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

14. All of their children will be killed with swords. They'll never have enough to eat.

15. A plague will kill those who are left alive. The widows of sinful men won't even sob over their own children.

16. Sinners might store up silver like dust and clothes like piles of clay.

17. But people who do what is right will wear those clothes. People who haven't done anything wrong will divide up that silver.

18. The house an evil person builds is like a moth's cocoon. It's like a hut that's made by someone on guard duty.

19. Sinful people lie down wealthy, but their wealth is taken away. When they open their eyes, everything is gone.

20. Terrors sweep over them like a flood. A storm takes them away during the night.

21. The east wind carries them off, and they are gone. It sweeps them out of their houses.

22. It blows against them without mercy. They try to escape from its power.
