Job 27:13-23
13 a“This is the portion of a wicked man with God,and the heritage that boppressors receive from the Almighty:
14If his cchildren are multiplied, it is for dthe sword,
and his descendants have not enough bread.
15Those who survive him the pestilence buries,
and his ewidows do not weep.
16Though he fheap up silver like dust,
and pile up clothing like clay,
17he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,
and gthe innocent will divide the silver.
18He builds his hhouse like a moth’s,
like ia booth that ja watchman makes.
19He goes to bed rich, but will kdo so no more;
he opens his eyes, and lhis wealth is gone.
20 mTerrors overtake him like na flood;
in the night a whirlwind ocarries him off.
21 pThe east wind lifts him up and he is gone;
it qsweeps him out of his place.
22It ▼
▼Or He (that is, God); also verse 23
hurls at him swithout pity;he flees from its ▼
▼Or his; also verse 23
power in headlong flight.23It uclaps its hands at him
and vhisses at him from its place.
