Job 20:20-29
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
20 “For they knew no quiet in their bellies;
in their greed they let nothing escape.(A)
21 There was nothing left after they had eaten;
therefore their prosperity will not endure.(B)
22 In full sufficiency they will be in distress;
all the force of misery will come upon them.
23 To fill their belly to the full,
God[a] will send his fierce anger into them
and rain it upon them as their food.(C)
24 They will flee from an iron weapon;
a bronze arrow will strike them through.(D)
25 It is drawn forth and comes out of their body,
and the glittering point comes out of their gall;
terrors come upon them.(E)
26 Utter darkness is laid up for their treasures;
a fire fanned by no one will devour them;
what is left in their tent will be consumed.(F)
27 The heavens will reveal their iniquity,
and the earth will rise up against them.(G)
28 The possessions of their house will be carried away,
dragged off in the day of God’s[b] wrath.(H)
29 This is the portion of the wicked from God,
the heritage decreed for them by God.”(I)
Job 20:20-29
Lexham English Bible
20 Because he has not known satisfaction in his stomach,
he lets nothing escape that he desires.[a]
21 There is nothing left after he has eaten;[b]
therefore his prosperity will not endure.
22 In the fullness of his excess he will be in distress;[c]
all of misery’s power will come upon him.
23 When his stomach fills up,[d] God will send his burning anger[e] upon him,
and he will let it rain down upon him[f] as his food.
24 “He will flee from an iron weapon,
but an arrow of bronze will pierce him.
25 He draws it forth, and it comes out from his body,
and the glittering point comes from his gall-bladder;
terrors come upon him.
26 Total darkness[g] is hidden for his treasures;[h]
an unfanned fire[i] will devour him;
the remnant[j] will be consumed[k] in his tent.
27 The heavens will reveal his guilt,
and the earth will rise up against him.
28 The products of his house will be carried away[l]
like gushing waters[m] on the day of his wrath.
29 This is a wicked human being’s portion from God
and the inheritance of his decree from God.”[n]
