Job 20:12-16, 20-23

Job 20:12-16 NCV

“Evil may taste sweet in their mouths, and they may hide it under their tongues. They cannot stand to let go of it; they keep it in their mouths. But their food will turn sour in their stomachs, like the poison of a snake inside them. They have swallowed riches, but they will spit them out; God will make them vomit their riches up. They will suck the poison of snakes, and the snake’s fangs will kill them.

Job 20:20-23 NCV

“Evil people never lack an appetite, and nothing escapes their selfishness. But nothing will be left for them to eat; their riches will not continue. When they still have plenty, trouble will catch up to them, and great misery will come down on them. When the wicked fill their stomachs, God will send his burning anger against them, and blows of punishment will fall on them like rain.
