New Testament

Job 20:17-26 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

17. He shall see no streams of oil,no torrents of honey or milk.

18. He shall give back his gains, never used;like his profit from trade, never enjoyed.

19. Because he has oppressed and neglected the poor,and stolen a house he did not build;

20. For he has known no quiet in his greed,in his treasure he cannot save himself.

21. None of his survivors will consume it,therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

22. When he has more than enough, distress shall be his,every sort of trouble shall come upon him.

23. When he has filled his belly,God shall send against him the fury of his wrathand rain down his missiles upon him.

24. Should he escape an iron weapon,a bronze bow shall pierce him through;

25. The dart shall come out of his back,a shining point out of his gall-bladder:terrors fall upon him.

26. Complete darkness is in store for his treasured ones;a fire unfanned shall consume him;any survivor in his tent shall be destroyed.
