New Testament

Job 20:8-16 Good News Bible (GNB)

8. They will vanish like a dream, like a vision at night,and never be seen again.

9. The wicked will disappear from the place where they used to live;

10. and their children will make good what they stole from the poor.

11. Their bodies used to be young and vigorous,but soon they will turn to dust.

12-13. Evil tastes so good to themthat they keep some in their mouths to enjoy its flavour.

14. But in their stomachs the food turns bitter,as bitter as any poison could be.

15. The wicked vomit up the wealth they stole;God takes it back, even out of their stomachs.

16. What evil people swallow is like poison;it kills them like the bite of a deadly snake.
