Job 20:13-25 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

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

14. yet his food in his bowels is turned.It is cobra venom within him.

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

16. He shall suck cobra venom.The viper’s tongue shall kill him.

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

18. That for which he labored he shall restore, and shall not swallow it down.According to the substance that he has gotten, he shall not rejoice.

19. For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor.He has violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.

20. “Because he knew no quietness within him,he shall not save anything of that in which he delights.

21. There was nothing left that he didn’t devour,therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

22. In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress shall overtake him.The hand of everyone who is in misery shall come on him.

23. When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him.It will rain on him while he is eating.

24. He shall flee from the iron weapon.The bronze arrow shall strike him through.

25. He draws it out, and it comes out of his body.Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver.Terrors are on him.
