Job 20:12-19
Christian Standard Bible
12 Though evil tastes sweet in his mouth
and he conceals it under his tongue,
13 though he cherishes it and will not let it go
but keeps it in his mouth,(A)
14 yet the food in his stomach turns
into cobras’ venom inside him.
15 He swallows wealth but must vomit it up;
God will force it from his stomach.
16 He will suck the poison of cobras;
a viper’s fangs[a] will kill him.(B)
17 He will not enjoy the streams,
the rivers flowing with honey and curds.(C)
18 He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it;
he doesn’t enjoy the profits from his trading.
19 For he oppressed and abandoned the poor;
he seized a house he did not build.(D)

- 20:16 Lit tongue
Job 20:12-19
New American Standard Bible
12 “Though (A)evil tastes sweet in his mouth
And he hides it under his tongue,
13 Though he [a]desires it and will not let it go,
But holds it (B)in his [b]mouth,
14 Yet his food in his stomach is changed
To the [c]venom of cobras within him.
15 He swallows riches,
But will (C)vomit them up;
God will expel them from his belly.
16 He sucks (D)the poison of cobras;
The viper’s tongue kills him.
17 He does not look at (E)the streams,
The rivers flowing with honey and curds.
18 He (F)returns the product of his labor
And cannot swallow it;
As to the riches of his trading,
He cannot even enjoy them.
19 For he has (G)oppressed and neglected the poor;
He has seized a house which he has not built.
