Job 20:12-19

Amplified Bible

¹² 
“Though evil and wickedness are sweet in his mouth
And he hides it under his tongue,
¹³ 
Though he desires it and will not let it go
But holds it in his mouth,
¹⁴ 
Yet his food turns [to poison] in his stomach;
It is the venom of vipers within him.
¹⁵ 
“He swallows [his ill-gotten] riches,
But will vomit them up;
God will drive them out of his belly.
¹⁶ 
“He sucks the poison of vipers [which ill-gotten wealth contains];
The viper’s tongue slays him.
¹⁷ 
“He does not look at the rivers,
The flowing streams of honey and butter [to enjoy his wealth].
¹⁸ 
“He gives back what he has labored for and attained
And cannot swallow it [down to enjoy it];
As to the riches of his labor,
He cannot even enjoy them.
¹⁹ 
“For he has oppressed and neglected the poor;
He has violently taken away houses which he did not build.
