Job 20:12-19
New American Standard Bible 1995
12 “Though (A)evil is sweet in his mouth
And he hides it under his tongue,
13 Though he [a]desires it and will not let it go,
But holds it (B)in his [b]mouth,
14 Yet his food in his stomach is changed
To the [c]venom of cobras within him.
15 “He swallows riches,
But will (C)vomit them up;
God will expel them from his belly.
16 “He sucks (D)the poison of cobras;
The viper’s tongue slays him.
17 “He does not look at (E)the streams,
The rivers flowing with honey and curds.
18 “He (F)returns what he has attained
And cannot swallow it;
As to the riches of his trading,
He cannot even enjoy them.
19 “For he has (G)oppressed and forsaken the poor;
He has seized a house which he has not built.

Job 20:12-19
New International Version
12 “Though evil(A) is sweet in his mouth
and he hides it under his tongue,(B)
13 though he cannot bear to let it go
and lets it linger in his mouth,(C)
14 yet his food will turn sour in his stomach;(D)
it will become the venom of serpents(E) within him.
15 He will spit out the riches(F) he swallowed;
God will make his stomach vomit(G) them up.
16 He will suck the poison(H) of serpents;
the fangs of an adder will kill him.(I)
17 He will not enjoy the streams,
the rivers(J) flowing with honey(K) and cream.(L)
18 What he toiled for he must give back uneaten;(M)
he will not enjoy the profit from his trading.(N)
19 For he has oppressed the poor(O) and left them destitute;(P)
he has seized houses(Q) he did not build.
