New Testament

Job 20:12-21 Common English Bible (CEB)

12. Though wickedness is sweet in their mouths,they hide it under their tongues;

13. they like it, won’t let it go;they hold it in their cheeks.

14. Food turns their stomachs,becoming a cobra’s poison inside.

15. They swallow wealth and vomit it;God dislodges it from their belly.

16. They suck cobra’s poison;a viper’s tongue kills them.

17. They won’t experience streams,rivers of honey, and brooks of cream.

18. They won’t receive the reward for their labor;they won’t enjoy the wealth from their business.

19. They crushed and abandoned the poor;stole a house they didn’t build;

20. didn’t know contentment in their belly;couldn’t escape with their treasure.

21. Nothing remained of their food,so their riches will not endure.
