Job 20:20-29
World English Bible
20 “Because he knew no quietness within him,
he will not save anything of that in which he delights.
21 There was nothing left that he didn’t devour,
therefore his prosperity will not endure.
22 In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress will overtake him.
The hand of everyone who is in misery will come on him.
23 When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him.
It will rain on him while he is eating.
24 He will flee from the iron weapon.
The bronze arrow will strike him through.
25 He draws it out, and it comes out of his body.
Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver.
Terrors are on him.
26 All darkness is laid up for his treasures.
An unfanned fire will devour him.
It will consume that which is left in his tent.
27 The heavens will reveal his iniquity.
The earth will rise up against him.
28 The increase of his house will depart.
They will rush away in the day of his wrath.
29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God,
the heritage appointed to him by God.”
Job 20:20-29

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;

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;

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.”
