New Testament

Job 27:13-23 Common English Bible (CEB)

13. This is the wicked’s portion with God,the inheritance that the ruthless receive from the Almighty.

14. If their children increase, they belong to the sword;their offspring won’t have enough bread.

15. Their survivors will be buried with the dead;their widows won’t weep.

16. If they store up silver like dust,amass clothing like clay,

17. they may amass, but the righteous will wear it;the innocent will divide the silver.

18. They built their houses like nests,like a hut made by a watchman.

19. They lie down rich, but no longer;open their eyes, but it’s missing.

20. Terrors overtake them like waters;a tempest snatches them by night;

21. an east wind lifts them, and they are gone,removes them from their places,

22. throws itself on them without mercy;they flee desperately from its force.

23. It claps its hands over them,hisses at them from their place.
