The Message

Job 20:20-29 The Message (MSG)

“Such God-denying people are never content with what they haveor who they are;their greed drives them relentlessly.They plunder everythingbut they can’t hold on to any of it.Just when they think they have it all, disaster strikes;they’re served up a plate full of misery.When they’ve filled their bellies with that,God gives them a taste of his anger,and they get to chew on that for a while.As they run for their lives from one disaster,they run smack into another.They’re knocked around from pillar to post,beaten to within an inch of their lives.They’re trapped in a house of horrors,and see their loot disappear down a black hole.Their lives are a total loss—not a penny to their name, not so much as a bean.God will strip them of their sin-soaked clothesand hang their dirty laundry out for all to see.Life is a complete wipeout for them,nothing surviving God’s wrath.There! That’s God’s blueprint for the wicked—what they have to look forward to.”
