New Testament

Job 20:9-20 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.)

18. He will be repaid for all he has done, yet he will not be consumed; according to the multitude of his schemes, so also will he suffer.

19. For, having broken in, he stripped the poor. He has quickly stolen away a house he did not build.

20. And yet his stomach will not be satisfied, and when he has the things he desires, he will not be able to possess them.
