Job 20:20-29
English Standard Version
20 “Because he (A)knew no (B)contentment in his belly,
(C)he will not let anything in which he delights escape him.
21 There was nothing left after he had eaten;
therefore his prosperity will not endure.
22 In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be in distress;
the hand of everyone in misery will come against him.
23 To fill his belly to the full,
God[a] will send his burning anger against him
and rain it upon him (D)into his body.
24 (E)He will flee from an iron weapon;
(F)a bronze arrow will strike (G)him through.
25 It (H)is drawn forth and comes out of his body;
(I)the glittering point comes out of his (J)gallbladder;
(K)terrors come upon him.
26 Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures;
(L)a fire not fanned will devour him;
what is left in his tent will be consumed.
27 (M)The heavens will reveal his iniquity,
and the earth will rise up against him.
28 The possessions of his house will be carried away,
dragged off in the day of God's[b] wrath.
29 (N)This is the wicked man's portion from God,
(O)the heritage decreed for him by God.”

and rain it upon them as their food.(C)

a bronze arrow will strike them through.(D)
25 It is drawn forth and comes out of their body,

and the earth will rise up against them.(G)
28 The possessions of their house will be carried away,
