New Testament

Job 20:9-17 Modern English Version (MEV)

9. The eye that saw him will see him no more;nor will his place behold him anymore.

10. His children will seek favor from the poor,and his hands will give back his wealth.

11. His bones are full of his youthful vigor,but it will lie down with him in the dust.

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.
