Job 20:20-29

Revised Standard Version

²⁰ “Because his greed knew no rest,
    he will not save anything in which he delights.
²¹ There was nothing left after he had eaten;
    therefore his prosperity will not endure.
²² In the fulness of his sufficiency he will be in straits;
    all the force of misery will come upon him.
²³ To fill his belly to the full
    God^[a] will send his fierce anger into him,
    and rain it upon him as his food.^[b]
24 He will flee from an iron weapon;
    a bronze arrow will strike him through.
²⁵ It is drawn forth and comes out of his body,
    the glittering point comes out of his gall;
    terrors come upon him.
²⁶ Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures;
    a fire not blown upon will devour him;
    what is left in his tent will be consumed.
²⁷ The heavens will reveal his iniquity,
    and the earth will rise up against him.
²⁸ The possessions of his house will be carried away,
    dragged off in the day of God’s^[c] wrath.
²⁹ This is the wicked man’s portion from God,
    the heritage decreed for him by God.”
