Job 20: 18 That which he laboured for shall he give back, and shall not swallow it down; according to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.
Job 20: 19 For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; he hath violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.
Job 20: 20 Because he knew no quietness within him, in his greed he suffered nought to escape,
Job 20: 21 There was nothing left that he devoured not--therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
Job 20: 22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits; the hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.
Job 20: 23 It shall be for the filling of his belly; He shall cast the fierceness of His wrath upon him, and shall cause it to rain upon him into his flesh.
Job 20: 24 If he flee from the iron weapon, the bow of brass shall strike him through.
