• Job 19
• Job 20
• Job 21

20 “Because he wknew no xcontentment in his belly,

yhe will not let anything in which he delights escape him.

21 There was nothing left after he had eaten;

therefore his prosperity will not endure.

22 In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be in distress;

the hand of everyone in misery will come against him.

23 To fill his belly to the full,

God1 will send his burning anger against him

and rain it upon him zinto his body.

24 aHe will flee from an iron weapon;

ba bronze arrow will strike chim through.

25 It dis drawn forth and comes out of his body;

ethe glittering point comes out of his fgallbladder;

gterrors come upon him.

26 Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures;

ha fire not fanned will devour him;

what is left in his tent will be consumed.

27 iThe heavens will reveal his iniquity,

and the earth will rise up against him.

28 The possessions of his house will be carried away,

dragged off in the day of God's2 wrath.

29 jThis is the wicked man's portion from God,

jthe heritage decreed for him by God.”
