Job 27:13-23

New American Standard Bible

¹³ “This is ^(A)the portion of a wicked person from God,
And the inheritance which ^(B)tyrants receive from the Almighty:
¹⁴ Though his sons are many, ^[a]they are destined ^(C)for the sword;
And his ^(D)descendants 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]spider’s web,
Or a hut which the watchman has made.
¹⁹ He lies down rich, but never ^[d]again;
He opens his eyes, and ^(H)it no longer exists.
^20 (I)Terrors overtake him like a flood;
A storm steals him away ^(J)in the night.
²¹ The east ^(K)wind carries him away, and he is gone;
For it sweeps him ^(L)away from his place.
²² For it will hurl at him ^(M)without mercy;
He will certainly try to ^(N)flee from its ^[e]power.
²³ People will ^[f]clap their hands at him,
And will ^(O)whistle at him from their places.
