Job 20:12-19

Common English Bible

¹² Though wickedness is sweet in their mouths,
    they hide it under their tongues;
¹³     they like it, won’t let it go;
    they hold it in their cheeks.
¹⁴ Food turns their stomachs,
    becoming a cobra’s poison inside.
¹⁵ They swallow wealth and vomit it;
    God dislodges it from their belly.
¹⁶ They suck cobra’s poison;
    a viper’s tongue kills them.
¹⁷ They won’t experience streams,
    rivers of honey, and brooks of cream.
¹⁸ They won’t receive the reward for their labor;
    they won’t enjoy the wealth from their business.
¹⁹ They crushed and abandoned the poor;
    stole a house they didn’t build;
