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
New American Standard Bible
13 “This is (A)the portion of a wicked person from God,
And the inheritance which (B)tyrants receive from the Almighty:
14 Though his sons are many, [a]they are destined (C)for the sword;
And his (D)descendants will not be satisfied with bread.
15 His survivors will be buried because of the plague,
And [b]their (E)widows will not be able to weep.
16 Though he piles up silver like dust,
And prepares garments as plentiful as the clay,
17 He may prepare it, (F)but the righteous will wear it
And the innocent will divide the silver.
18 He has built his (G)house like the [c]spider’s web,
Or a hut which the watchman has made.
19 He lies down rich, but never [d]again;
He opens his eyes, and (H)it no longer exists.
20 (I)Terrors overtake him like a flood;
A storm steals him away (J)in the night.
21 The east (K)wind carries him away, and he is gone;
For it sweeps him (L)away from his place.
22 For it will hurl at him (M)without mercy;
He will certainly try to (N)flee from its [e]power.
23 People will [f]clap their hands at him,
And will (O)whistle at him from their places.
