Job 20:20-29

Christian Standard Bible

²⁰ Because his appetite is never satisfied,^[a]
he does not let anything he desires escape.
²¹ Nothing is left for him to consume;^(A)
therefore, his prosperity will not last.
²² At the height of his success^[b] distress will come to him;^(B)
the full weight of misery^[c] will crush him.
²³ When he fills his stomach,
God will send his burning anger against him,
raining^(C) it down on him while he is eating.^[d]
24 If he flees from an iron weapon,
an arrow from a bronze bow will pierce him.
²⁵ He pulls it out of his back,
the flashing tip out of his liver.^[e]
Terrors come over him.^(D)
26 Total darkness is reserved for his treasures.
A fire unfanned by human hands will consume^(E) him;
it will feed on what is left in his tent.
²⁷ The heavens will expose his iniquity,^(F)
and the earth will rise up against him.^(G)
28 The possessions in his house will be removed,
flowing away on the day of God’s anger.
²⁹ This is the wicked person’s lot^(H) from God,
the inheritance God ordained for him.
