20 “Evil people never lack an appetite,
    and nothing escapes their selfishness.
21 But nothing will be left for them to eat;
    their riches will not continue.
22 When they still have plenty, trouble will catch up to them,
    and great misery will come down on them.
23 When the wicked fill their stomachs,
    God will send his burning anger against them,
    and blows of punishment will fall on them like rain.
24 The wicked may run away from an iron weapon,
    but a bronze arrow will stab them.
25 They will pull the arrows out of their backs
    and pull the points out of their livers.
Terrors will come over them;
26 total darkness waits for their treasure.
A fire not fanned by people will destroy them
    and burn up what is left of their tents.
27 The heavens will show their guilt,
    and the earth will rise up against them.
28 A flood will carry their houses away,
    swept away on the day of God’s anger.
29 This is what God plans for evil people;
    this is what he has decided they will receive.”
