Job 27:17-23 New English Translation (NET)

17. what he stores up a righteous man will wear,and an innocent man will inherit his silver.

18. The house he builds is as fragile as a moth’s cocoon,like a hut that a watchman has made.

19. He goes to bed wealthy, but will do so no more.When he opens his eyes, it is all gone.

20. Terrors overwhelm him like a flood;at night a whirlwind carries him off.

21. The east wind carries him away, and he is gone;it sweeps him out of his place.

22. It hurls itself against him without pityas he flees headlong from its power.

23. It claps its hands at him in derisionand hisses him away from his place.
