Iyov 20:18-29 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

18. That which he labored for shall he give back, and shall not swallow it down; he shall not rejoice according to his chayil temurah (business profit).

19. Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the destitute; because he hath violently seized a bais which he built not;

20. Surely he knew no quiet in his beten; he shall not save anything which he desired.

21. There shall none of his ochel be left; therefore his posterity will not endure.

22. In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in distress; kol yad of misery shall come upon him.

23. When he is about to fill his beten, He shall cast the charon af (fury of His wrath) upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

24. He shall flee from the weapon of barzel (iron), and the keshet of bronze shall strike him through.

25. It is drawn, and cometh out of their body; yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall; emim (terrors [of death]) are upon them.

26. Kol choshech is reserved for his treasures; an eish not fanned shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his ohel.

27. Shomayim shall reveal his iniquity; and eretz shall rise up against him.

28. The increase of his bais shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in [G-d's] Yom Af.

29. This is the chelek of an adam rasha from Elohim, and the nachalah decreed unto him by El (G-d).
