Job 27:13-23
Legacy Standard Bible
13 “This is (A)the portion of a wicked man from God,
And the inheritance which the (B)ruthless receive from the Almighty.
14 Though his sons are many, [a]they are destined (C)for the sword;
And his (D)offspring will not be satisfied with bread.
15 His survivors will be buried because of the plague,
And [b]their (E)widows will not be able to weep.
16 Though he piles up silver like dust
And prepares garments as plentiful as the clay,
17 He may prepare it, (F)but the righteous will wear it,
And the innocent will divide the silver.
18 He has built his (G)house like the [c]moth,
Or as a hut which the watchman has made.
19 He lies down rich, but never [d]again;
He opens his eyes, and (H)it is no longer.
20 (I)Terrors overtake him like many waters;
A tempest steals him away (J)in the night.
21 The east (K)wind carries him away, and he goes,
And it whirls him (L)away from his place.
22 For it will hurl at him (M)without sparing;
He will surely try to (N)flee from its [e]power.
23 Men will clap their hands at him
And will (O)hiss him from his place.
Job 27:13-23
English Standard Version
13 (A)“This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
and the heritage that (B)oppressors receive from the Almighty:
14 If his (C)children are multiplied, it is for (D)the sword,
and his descendants have not enough bread.
15 Those who survive him the pestilence buries,
and his (E)widows do not weep.
16 Though he (F)heap up silver like dust,
and pile up clothing like clay,
17 he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,
and (G)the innocent will divide the silver.
18 He builds his (H)house like a moth's,
like (I)a booth that (J)a watchman makes.
19 He goes to bed rich, but will (K)do so no more;
he opens his eyes, and (L)his wealth is gone.
20 (M)Terrors overtake him like (N)a flood;
in the night a whirlwind (O)carries him off.
21 (P)The east wind lifts him up and he is gone;
it (Q)sweeps him out of his place.
22 It[a] hurls at him (R)without pity;
he flees from its[b] power in headlong flight.
23 It (S)claps its hands at him
and (T)hisses at him from its place.
