International Standard Version
Job 27:13-23
International Standard Version
13 “This is what a wicked person[a] inherits from God,
and what the ruthless will receive from the Almighty:
14 If he has many children,
their destiny is to die by the sword,
and his descendants won’t have enough food.
15 Those who do survive him disease will bury,
and his widow won’t even weep.
16 “Though he hoards silver[b] like dust,
and stores away garments like clay,
17 whatever he stores up, the righteous will wear,
and the innocent will inherit that silver!
18 “He has built his house like a moth’s cocoon,[c]
like a temporary[d] sunshade that a watchman makes.
19 He will go to bed wealthy,
but won’t be doing that anymore!
When he opens his eyes, it will be gone!
20 Terror will overtake him like a flood,[e]
at night, a tornado will sweep him away.
21 He’ll be swept up by a storm[f] wind and carried away;
he’ll be whirled away from his place.
22 It will toss him around without pity.
He’ll try to break free[g] from its grip,[h]
23 but it will clap its hands over him,
hissing at him as it lunges toward him.”[i]

Job 27:13-23
New International Version
13 “Here is the fate God allots to the wicked,
the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty:(A)
14 However many his children,(B) their fate is the sword;(C)
his offspring will never have enough to eat.(D)
15 The plague will bury those who survive him,
and their widows will not weep for them.(E)
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust(F)
and clothes like piles of clay,(G)
17 what he lays up(H) the righteous will wear,(I)
and the innocent will divide his silver.(J)
18 The house(K) he builds is like a moth’s cocoon,(L)
like a hut(M) made by a watchman.
19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more;(N)
when he opens his eyes, all is gone.(O)
20 Terrors(P) overtake him like a flood;(Q)
a tempest snatches him away in the night.(R)
21 The east wind(S) carries him off, and he is gone;(T)
it sweeps him out of his place.(U)
22 It hurls itself against him without mercy(V)
as he flees headlong(W) from its power.(X)
23 It claps its hands(Y) in derision
and hisses him out of his place.”(Z)
