Job 27:17-19
New King James Version

17 He may pile it up, but (A)the just will wear it,
And the innocent will divide the silver.
18 He builds his house like a [a]moth,
(B)Like a [b]booth which a watchman makes.
19 The rich man will lie down,
[c]But not be gathered up;
He opens his eyes,
And he is (C)no more.
