Old Testament

New Testament

Job 20:12-19 Modern English Version (MEV)

12. “Though evil is sweet in his mouth,and he hides it under his tongue,

13. though he spares it and does not forsake it,but keeps it in his mouth,

14. yet his food in his stomach turns sour;it becomes the venom of cobras within him.

15. He has swallowed down riches,and he will vomit them up again;God will cast them out of his belly.

16. He will suck the poison of cobras;the viper’s tongue will slay him.

17. He will not see the streams, the rivers,the brooks of honey and butter.

18. He will give back the produce of labor and will not swallow it down.According to his wealth the restitution will be, and he will not rejoice in it;

19. because he has oppressed and has forsaken the poor.He has violently taken away a house that he did not build.
