Job 27:17-22 (Listen)

17 he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,

and kthe innocent will divide the silver.

18 He builds his lhouse like a moth's,

like ma booth that na watchman makes.

19 He goes to bed rich, but will odo so no more;

he opens his eyes, and phis wealth is gone.

20 qTerrors overtake him like ra flood;

in the night a whirlwind scarries him off.

21 tThe east wind lifts him up and he is gone;

it usweeps him out of his place.

he flees from its2 power in headlong flight.
