Job 20:15-29

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Job 20:15-29

15He swallows wealth but vomits it out;
God will force it from his stomach.
16He will suck the poison of cobras;
the fangs of a viper will kill him.
17He will not enjoy the streams,
the rivers flowing with honey and cream.
18He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it;
he cannot enjoy the profits of his trading.
19For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor;
he has seized houses he did not build.
20Because his appetite is never satisfied,
he cannot escape with his treasure.
21Nothing is left for him to consume;
thus his prosperity will not endure.
22In the midst of his plenty, he will be distressed;
the full force of misery will come upon him.
23When he has filled his stomach,
God will vent His fury upon him,
raining it down on him as he eats.
24Though he flees from an iron weapon,
a bronze-tipped arrow will pierce him.
25It is drawn out of his back,
the gleaming point from his liver.
Terrors come over him.
26Total darkness is reserved for his treasures.
A fire unfanned will consume him
and devour what is left in his tent.
27The heavens will expose his iniquity,
and the earth will rise up against him.
28The possessions of his house will be removed,
flowing away on the day of God’s wrath.
29This is the wicked man’s portion from God,
the inheritance God has appointed him.”
— Job 20:15-29
