Chapter 20
Job | NETtext | 20:2 | "This is why my troubled thoughts bring me back - because of my feelings within me. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:3 | When I hear a reproof that dishonors me, then my understanding prompts me to answer. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:4 | "Surely you know that it has been from old, ever since humankind was placed on the earth, | |
Job | NETtext | 20:5 | that the elation of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:7 | he will perish forever, like his own excrement; those who used to see him will say, 'Where is he?' | |
Job | NETtext | 20:8 | Like a dream he flies away, never again to be found, and like a vision of the night he is put to flight. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:9 | People who had seen him will not see him again, and the place where he was will recognize him no longer. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:11 | His bones were full of his youthful vigor, but that vigor will lie down with him in the dust. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:13 | if he retains it for himself and does not let it go, and holds it fast in his mouth, | |
Job | NETtext | 20:14 | his food is turned sour in his stomach; it becomes the venom of serpents within him. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:15 | The wealth that he consumed he vomits up, God will make him throw it out of his stomach. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:17 | He will not look on the streams, the rivers, which are the torrents of honey and butter. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:18 | He gives back the ill-gotten gain without assimilating it; he will not enjoy the wealth from his commerce. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:19 | For he has oppressed the poor and abandoned them; he has seized a house which he did not build. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:20 | For he knows no satisfaction in his appetite; he does not let anything he desires escape. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:22 | In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress overtakes him. the full force of misery will come upon him. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:23 | "While he is filling his belly, God sends his burning anger against him, and rains down his blows upon him. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:25 | When he pulls it out and it comes out of his back, the gleaming point out of his liver, terrors come over him. | |
Job | NETtext | 20:26 | Total darkness waits to receive his treasures; a fire which has not been kindled will consume him and devour what is left in his tent. | |
