Book 18 : JOB - Chapter 020
020:001
Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I
make haste
020:002
I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my
understanding causeth me to answer
020:003
Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth
020:004
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the
hypocrite but for a moment
020:005
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head
reach unto the clouds
020:006
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which
have seen him shall say, Where is he
020:007
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he
shall be chased away as a vision of the night
020:008
The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither
shall his place any more behold him
020:009
His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands
shall restore their goods
020:010
His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie
down with him in the dust
020:011
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it
under his tongue
020:012
Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still
within his mouth
020:013
Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps
within him
020:014
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up
again: God shall cast them out of his belly
020:015
He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall
slay him
020:016
He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey
and butter
020:017
That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not
swallow it down: according to his substance shall the
restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein
020:018
Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because
he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not
020:019
Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not
save of that which he desired
020:020
There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man
look for his goods
020:021
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits:
every hand of the wicked shall come upon him
020:022
When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of
his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is
eating
020:023
He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall
strike him through
020:024
It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering
sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him
020:025
All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not
blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left
in his tabernacle
020:026
The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise
up against him
020:027
The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall
flow away in the day of his wrath
020:028
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage
appointed unto him by God
