Job 20:12-14
EasyEnglish Bible
12 He enjoys the wicked things that he does.
They are like something sweet in his mouth.
13 He continues to enjoy wicked things,
like the taste of sweet food that he keeps in his mouth.
14 But those things will become poison that hurts him.
Like bitter food that goes into his stomach.
Job 20:12-14
New King James Version
12 “Though evil is sweet in his mouth,
And he hides it under his tongue,
13 Though he spares it and does not forsake it,
But still keeps it in his [a]mouth,
14 Yet his food in his stomach turns sour;
It becomes cobra venom within him.
