Job 27:13-23
New International Version
13 “Here is the fate God allots to the wicked,
the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty:(A)
14 However many his children,(B) their fate is the sword;(C)
his offspring will never have enough to eat.(D)
15 The plague will bury those who survive him,
and their widows will not weep for them.(E)
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust(F)
and clothes like piles of clay,(G)
17 what he lays up(H) the righteous will wear,(I)
and the innocent will divide his silver.(J)
18 The house(K) he builds is like a moth’s cocoon,(L)
like a hut(M) made by a watchman.
19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more;(N)
when he opens his eyes, all is gone.(O)
20 Terrors(P) overtake him like a flood;(Q)
a tempest snatches him away in the night.(R)
21 The east wind(S) carries him off, and he is gone;(T)
it sweeps him out of his place.(U)
22 It hurls itself against him without mercy(V)
as he flees headlong(W) from its power.(X)
23 It claps its hands(Y) in derision
and hisses him out of his place.”(Z)
Job 27:13-23
Christian Standard Bible
13 This is a wicked man’s lot(A) from God,
the inheritance the ruthless receive from the Almighty.
14 Even if his children increase, they are destined for the sword;
his descendants will never have enough food.
15 Those who survive him will be buried by the plague,
yet their widows will not weep for them.(B)
16 Though he piles up silver like dust
and heaps up fine clothing like clay—
17 he may heap it up, but the righteous will wear it,
and the innocent will divide up his silver.(C)
18 The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon
or a shelter set up by a watchman.(D)
19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more;
when he opens his eyes, it is gone.
20 Terrors overtake him like a flood;(E)
a storm(F) wind sweeps him away at night.
21 An east wind picks him up, and he is gone;
it carries him away from his place.
22 It blasts at him without mercy,
while he flees desperately from its force.
23 It claps(G) its hands at him
and scoffs at him from its place.
