Job 20:12-19

Lexham English Bible

¹² “Though wickedness tastes sweet in his mouth,
and he hides it under his tongue,
¹³ though he spares it and does not let it go
and holds it back in the midst of his palate,
¹⁴ in his bowels his food is turned,
the venom of horned vipers is within him.^[a]
15 He swallows riches, but^[b] he vomits them^[c] up;
God drives them^[d] out from his stomach.
¹⁶ He will suck the poison of horned vipers;
the viper’s tongue will kill him.
¹⁷ He will not enjoy the streams,^[e]
the torrents of honey and curds.
¹⁸ Returning the products of his toil, he will not swallow;^[f]
according to the profit of his trade, he will not enjoy,^[g]
19 for he has oppressed; he has abandoned the poor;
he has seized a house but^[h] did not build it.
