Job 20:12-19
Authorized (King James) Version
12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth,
though he hide it under his tongue;
13 though he spare it, and forsake it not;
but keep it still within his mouth:
14 yet his meat in his bowels is turned,
it is the gall of asps within him.
15 He hath swallowed down riches,
and he shall vomit them up again:
God shall cast them out of his belly.
16 He shall suck the poison of asps:
the viper’s tongue shall slay him.
17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods,
the brooks of honey and butter.
18 That which he laboured for shall he restore,
and shall not swallow it down:
according to his substance shall the restitution be,
and he shall not rejoice therein.
19 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor;
because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
Job 20:12-19
American Standard Version
12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth,
Though he hide it under his tongue,
13 Though he spare it, and will not let it go,
But keep it still within his mouth;
14 Yet his food in his bowels is turned,
It is the gall of asps within him.
15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again;
God will cast them out of his belly.
16 He shall suck the poison of asps:
The viper’s tongue shall slay him.
17 He shall not look upon the rivers,
The flowing streams of honey and butter.
18 That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down;
According to the substance [a]that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.
19 For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor;
He hath violently taken away a house, [b]and he shall not build it up.
