  • Job 20:19-29 : 19 For he has crushed and abandoned the poor; he has seized a house he did not build. 20 Because he knew no peace in his heart, he will not retain any of his treasures. 21 Nothing is left for him to consume; therefore, his prosperity will not last. 22 In the fullness of his plenty, he will be distressed; the hand of all who toil will come upon him. 23 When he is about to fill his stomach, God will unleash his burning anger against him and rain it upon him while he eats. 24 Though he flees from an iron weapon, a bronze arrow will pierce him. 25 It is drawn out and comes forth from his body; the glittering point comes out of his gallbladder; terrors come over him. 26 Total darkness is hidden for his treasures; a fire not kindled by man will consume him and devour what remains in his tent. 27 The heavens will expose his guilt, and the earth will rise up against him. 28 The produce of his house will be carried away, flowing away on the day of God's wrath. 29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the inheritance decreed for him by the Almighty.

He knows that the day of darkness is ready at hand. 24 Distress and anguish terrify him; they overpower him like a king prepared for battle. 25 For he has stretched out his hand against God and boasts arrogantly against the Almighty. 26 He rushes against Him defiantly, with a sturdy shield for the thickness of his defense. 27 Though he has covered his face with fat and clothed his waist with layers of flesh, 28 he will dwell in desolated cities, in houses no one inhabits, destined to become ruins. 29 He will no longer be rich, and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread out across the land. 30 He will not escape from darkness; a flame will dry up his branch, and the breath of God's mouth will carry him away. 31 Let him not trust in worthlessness, deceiving himself, for worthlessness will be his reward. 32 It will be fulfilled before his time, and his branch will not remain green. 33 He will shake off his unripe grapes like a vine and cast away his blossoms like the olive tree. 34 For the company of the godless is barren, and fire consumes the tents of bribery. 35 They conceive trouble and give birth to wickedness; their womb prepares deceit.
