Job 20:12-16, 20-23

¶“Though evil and wickedness are sweet in his mouth And he hides it under his tongue, Though he desires it and will not let it go But holds it in his mouth, Yet his food turns [to poison] in his stomach; It is the venom of vipers within him. “He swallows [his ill-gotten] riches, But will vomit them up; God will drive them out of his belly. “He sucks the poison of vipers [which ill-gotten wealth contains]; The viper’s tongue slays him.

¶“Because he knew no quietness or calm within him [because of his greed], He does not retain anything he desires. “There is nothing left of what he devoured; Therefore his prosperity does not endure. “In the fullness of his excess (great abundance) he will be in trouble; The hand of everyone who suffers will come against him [he is miserable on every side]. “When he fills his belly, God will send His fierce anger on him And will rain it upon him while he is eating. [Num 11:33; Ps 78:26-31]
