Job 27:13-23
Legacy Standard Bible
13 “This is (A)the portion of a wicked man from God,
And the inheritance which the (B)ruthless receive from the Almighty.
14 Though his sons are many, [a]they are destined (C)for the sword;
And his (D)offspring will not be satisfied with bread.
15 His survivors will be buried because of the plague,
And [b]their (E)widows will not be able to weep.
16 Though he piles up silver like dust
And prepares garments as plentiful as the clay,
17 He may prepare it, (F)but the righteous will wear it,
And the innocent will divide the silver.
18 He has built his (G)house like the [c]moth,
Or as a hut which the watchman has made.
19 He lies down rich, but never [d]again;
He opens his eyes, and (H)it is no longer.
20 (I)Terrors overtake him like many waters;
A tempest steals him away (J)in the night.
21 The east (K)wind carries him away, and he goes,
And it whirls him (L)away from his place.
22 For it will hurl at him (M)without sparing;
He will surely try to (N)flee from its [e]power.
23 Men will clap their hands at him
And will (O)hiss him from his place.

Job 27:13-23
New King James Version
13 “This(A) is the portion of a wicked man with God,
And the heritage of oppressors, received from the Almighty:
14 (B)If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword;
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15 Those who survive him shall be buried in death,
And (C)their[a] widows shall not weep,
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust,
And piles up clothing like clay—
17 He may pile it up, but (D)the just will wear it,
And the innocent will divide the silver.
18 He builds his house like a [b]moth,
(E)Like a [c]booth which a watchman makes.
19 The rich man will lie down,
[d]But not be gathered up;
He opens his eyes,
And he is (F)no more.
20 (G)Terrors overtake him like a flood;
A tempest steals him away in the night.
21 The east wind carries him away, and he is gone;
It sweeps him out of his place.
22 It hurls against him and does not (H)spare;
He flees desperately from its [e]power.
23 Men shall clap their hands at him,
And shall hiss him out of his place.

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)
