Job 20:13-15

King James Version

¹³Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:

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

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

Job 20:13-15

New King James Version

¹³Though he spares it and does not forsake it,
But still keeps it in his ^[a]mouth,
¹⁴Yet his food in his stomach turns sour;
It becomes cobra venom within him.
¹⁵He swallows down riches
And vomits them up again;
God casts them out of his belly.
