Job 20:19-29
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 For they have crushed and abandoned the poor;
they have seized a house that they did not build.(A)
20 “For they knew no quiet in their bellies;
in their greed they let nothing escape.(B)
21 There was nothing left after they had eaten;
therefore their prosperity will not endure.(C)
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.(D)
24 They will flee from an iron weapon;
a bronze arrow will strike them through.(E)
25 It is drawn forth and comes out of their body,
and the glittering point comes out of their gall;
terrors come upon them.(F)
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.(G)
27 The heavens will reveal their iniquity,
and the earth will rise up against them.(H)
28 The possessions of their house will be carried away,
dragged off in the day of God’s[b] wrath.(I)
29 This is the portion of the wicked from God,
the heritage decreed for them by God.”(J)

Job 15:20-35
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
20 The wicked writhe in pain all their days,
through all the years that are laid up for the ruthless.(A)
21 Terrifying sounds are in their ears;
in prosperity the destroyer will come upon them.(B)
22 They despair of returning from darkness,
and they are destined for the sword.(C)
23 They wander abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’
They know that a day of darkness is ready at hand;(D)
24 distress and anguish terrify them;
they prevail against them like a king prepared for battle.
25 Because they stretched out their hands against God
and bid defiance to the Almighty,[a](E)
26 running stubbornly against him
with a thickly bossed shield;
27 because they have covered their faces with their fat
and gathered fat upon their loins,(F)
28 they will live in desolate cities,
in houses that no one should inhabit,
houses destined to become heaps of ruins;
29 they will not be rich, and their wealth will not endure,
nor will they strike root in the earth;[b](G)
30 they will not escape from darkness;
the flame will dry up their shoots,
and their blossom[c] will be swept away by the wind.(H)
31 Let them not trust in emptiness, deceiving themselves,
for emptiness will be their recompense.(I)
32 It will be paid in full before their time,
and their branch will not be green.(J)
33 They will shake off their unripe grape, like the vine,
and cast off their blossoms, like the olive tree.(K)
34 For the company of the godless is barren,
and fire consumes the tents of bribery.(L)
35 They conceive mischief and bring forth evil,
and their belly prepares deceit.”(M)
