New Testament

Job 20:7-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

7. in the end, he will be destroyed like a trash heap, and those who had seen him will say: "Where is he?"

8. Like a dream that flies away, he will not be found; he will pass away like a nightmare.

9. The eyes that had seen him, will not see him; no longer will his own place admire him.

10. His sons will be worn away by poverty, and his own hands will deliver his grief to him.

11. His bones will be filled with the vices of his youth, and they will sleep with him in the dust.

12. For, when evil will be sweet in his mouth, he will hide it under his tongue.

13. He will permit it, and not abandon it, and he will conceal it in his throat.

14. His bread in his belly will be turned into the venom of snakes within him.

15. The riches that he devours, he will vomit up, and from his stomach God will draw them out.

16. He will suck the head of snakes, and the tongue of the viper will kill him.

17. (May he never see the streams of the river, the torrents of honey and butter.)
