Job 20:12-19

New Century Version

¹² “Evil may taste sweet in their mouths,
    and they may hide it under their tongues.
¹³ They cannot stand to let go of it;
    they keep it in their mouths.
¹⁴ But their food will turn sour in their stomachs,
    like the poison of a snake inside them.
¹⁵ They have swallowed riches, but they will spit them out;
    God will make them vomit their riches up.
¹⁶ They will suck the poison of snakes,
    and the snake’s fangs will kill them.
¹⁷ They will not admire the sparkling streams
    or the rivers flowing with honey and cream.
¹⁸ They must give back what they worked for without eating it;
    they will not enjoy the money they made from their trading,
¹⁹ because they troubled the poor and left them with nothing.
    They have taken houses they did not build.
