Job 20:20-29

Amplified Bible

²⁰
“Because he knew no quietness or calm within him [because of his greed],
He does not retain anything he desires.
²¹
“There is nothing left of what he devoured;
Therefore his prosperity does not endure.
²²
“In the fullness of his excess (great abundance) he will be in trouble;
The hand of everyone who suffers will come against him [he is miserable on every side].
²³
“When he fills his belly,
God will send His fierce anger on him
And will rain it upon him while he is eating.^(A)
²⁴
“He may flee from the iron weapon,
But the bow of bronze will pierce him through.
²⁵
“The arrow is drawn forth and it comes out of his back [after passing through his body];
Yes, the glittering point comes out of his gall.
Terrors march in upon him;
²⁶
Complete darkness (misfortune) is held in reserve for his treasures.
An unfanned fire will devour him;
It will consume the survivor in his tent.
²⁷
“The heavens will reveal his wickedness and guilt,
And the earth will rise up against him.
²⁸
“The produce and increase of his house will depart [with the victors];
His possessions will be dragged away in the day of God’s wrath.
²⁹
“This is the wicked man’s portion from God,
And the heritage decreed and appointed to him by God.”
