20 “Surely he will have no respite from his craving;(A)
    he cannot save himself by his treasure.(B)
21 Nothing is left for him to devour;
    his prosperity will not endure.(C)
22 In the midst of his plenty, distress will overtake him;(D)
    the full force of misery will come upon him.(E)
23 When he has filled his belly,(F)
    God will vent his burning anger(G) against him
    and rain down his blows on him.(H)
24 Though he flees(I) from an iron weapon,
    a bronze-tipped arrow pierces him.(J)
25 He pulls it out of his back,
    the gleaming point out of his liver.
Terrors(K) will come over him;(L)
26     total darkness(M) lies in wait for his treasures.
A fire(N) unfanned will consume him(O)
    and devour what is left in his tent.(P)
27 The heavens will expose his guilt;
    the earth will rise up against him.(Q)
28 A flood will carry off his house,(R)
    rushing waters[a] on the day of God’s wrath.(S)
29 Such is the fate God allots the wicked,
    the heritage appointed for them by God.”(T)

  1. Job 20:28 Or The possessions in his house will be carried off, / washed away

20 “Because he (A)knew no (B)contentment in his belly,
    (C)he will not let anything in which he delights escape him.
21 There was nothing left after he had eaten;
    therefore his prosperity will not endure.
22 In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be in distress;
    the hand of everyone in misery will come against him.
23 To fill his belly to the full,
    God[a] will send his burning anger against him
    and rain it upon him (D)into his body.
24 (E)He will flee from an iron weapon;
    (F)a bronze arrow will strike (G)him through.
25 It (H)is drawn forth and comes out of his body;
    (I)the glittering point comes out of his (J)gallbladder;
    (K)terrors come upon him.
26 Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures;
    (L)a fire not fanned will devour him;
    what is left in his tent will be consumed.
27 (M)The heavens will reveal his iniquity,
    and the earth will rise up against him.
28 The possessions of his house will be carried away,
    dragged off in the day of God's[b] wrath.
29 (N)This is the wicked man's portion from God,
    (O)the heritage decreed for him by God.”
