Job 27:13-23
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 20:23-29

23 To fill their belly to the full,

and rain it upon them as their food.(A)
24 They will flee from an iron weapon;
a bronze arrow will strike them through.(B)
25 It is drawn forth and comes out of their body,
and the glittering point comes out of their gall;
terrors come upon them.(C)
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.(D)
27 The heavens will reveal their iniquity,
and the earth will rise up against them.(E)
28 The possessions of their house will be carried away,
dragged off in the day of God’s[b] wrath.(F)
29 This is the portion of the wicked from God,
the heritage decreed for them by God.”(G)
