and they rush to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;

and there is no justice in their ways.
Their roads they have made crooked;
no one who walks in them knows peace.(D)

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 “This is the portion of the wicked with God
and the heritage that oppressors receive from the Almighty:[a](A)
14 If their children are multiplied, it is for the sword,
and their offspring have not enough to eat.(B)
15 Those who survive them the pestilence buries,
and their widows make no lamentation.(C)
16 Though they heap up silver like dust
and pile up clothing like clay,(D)
17 they may pile it up, but the just will wear it,
and the innocent will divide the silver.(E)
18 They build their houses like nests,
like booths made by sentinels of the vineyard.
19 They go to bed with wealth but will do so no more;
they open their eyes, and it is gone.(F)
20 Terrors overtake them like a flood;
in the night a whirlwind carries them off.(G)
21 The east wind lifts them up, and they are gone;
it sweeps them out of their place.(H)
22 It[b] hurls at them without pity;
they flee from its[c] power in headlong flight.(I)
23 It[d] claps its[e] hands at them
and hisses at them from its[f] place.(J)
Job 27:13-23
New International Version
13 “Here is the fate God allots to the wicked,
the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty:(A)
14 However many his children,(B) their fate is the sword;(C)
his offspring will never have enough to eat.(D)
15 The plague will bury those who survive him,
and their widows will not weep for them.(E)
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust(F)
and clothes like piles of clay,(G)
17 what he lays up(H) the righteous will wear,(I)
and the innocent will divide his silver.(J)
18 The house(K) he builds is like a moth’s cocoon,(L)
like a hut(M) made by a watchman.
19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more;(N)
when he opens his eyes, all is gone.(O)
20 Terrors(P) overtake him like a flood;(Q)
a tempest snatches him away in the night.(R)
21 The east wind(S) carries him off, and he is gone;(T)
it sweeps him out of his place.(U)
22 It hurls itself against him without mercy(V)
as he flees headlong(W) from its power.(X)
23 It claps its hands(Y) in derision
and hisses him out of his place.”(Z)
