Job 20:13-25 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

13. Though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;

14. Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.

15. He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

16. He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.

17. He shall not look upon the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter.

18. That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down; according to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.

19. For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; he hath violently taken away an house, and he shall not build it up.

20. Because he knew no quietness within him, he shall not save aught of that wherein he delighteth.

21. There was nothing left that he devoured not; therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

22. In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: the hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.

23. When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

24. He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of brass shall strike him through.

25. He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body: yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall; terrors are upon him.
