Job 27:13-23

Common English Bible

¹³ This is the wicked’s portion with God,
    the inheritance that the ruthless receive from the Almighty.
¹⁴ If their children increase, they belong to the sword;
    their offspring won’t have enough bread.
¹⁵ Their survivors will be buried with the dead;
    their widows won’t weep.
¹⁶ If they store up silver like dust,
    amass clothing like clay,
¹⁷     they may amass, but the righteous will wear it;
            the innocent will divide the silver.
¹⁸ They built their houses like nests,
    like a hut made by a watchman.
¹⁹ They lie down rich, but no longer;
    open their eyes, but it’s missing.
²⁰ Terrors overtake them like waters;
        a tempest snatches them by night;
²¹     an east wind lifts them, and they are gone,
        removes them from their places,
²²     throws itself on them without mercy;
        they flee desperately from its force.
²³ It claps its hands over them,
    hisses at them from their place.
