Job:20:5-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
that the exulting of the wicked is short ,
and the joy of the godless but for a moment ?
*
Though his height mount up to the heavens ,
and his head reach to the clouds ,
*
he will perish for ever like his own dung ;
those who have seen him will say , `
ose who have seen him will say , "
Where is he ?'
*
He will fly away like a dream ,
and not be found ;
he will be chased away like a vision of the night .
*
The eye which saw him will see him no more ,
nor will his place any more behold him .
*
His children will seek the favor of the poor ,
and his hands will give back his wealth .
*
His bones are full of youthful vigor ,
but it will lie down with him in the dust .
* "
Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth ,
though he hides it under his tongue ,
*
though he is loath to let it go ,
and holds it in his mouth ,
*
yet his food is turned in his stomach ;
it is the gall of asps within him .
*
He swallows down riches and vomits them up again ;
God casts them out of his belly .
*
He will suck the poison of asps ;
the tongue of a viper will kill him .
