New Testament

Job 27:16-23 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

16. If he will amass silver as if it were dirt and fabricate garments as if they were clay,

17. then yes, he will gather, but the just will be clothed with it and the innocent will divide the silver.

18. He has built his house like a moth, and he has made a makeshift shelter like a sentry.

19. When he falls asleep, the rich man will leave him with nothing; he will open his eyes and find nothing.

20. Destitution will surround him like water; a storm will overwhelm him in the night.

21. A burning wind will pick him up and carry him away, and, like a whirlwind, it will rush him from his place.

22. And it will hurl over him and will not spare him; fleeing from its power, he will go into exile.

23. He will clasp his hands over himself, and he will hiss at himself, while considering his situation.
