Job 27 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷

13 This is the portion of an impious man with God, and inheritance of the violent, which they shall receive of the Omnipotent.

14 If his children be multiplied, they shall be in the sword, & his nephews shall not be filled with bread.

15 They that shall be left of him, shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep.

16 If he shall heap together silver as earth, and as clay shall prepare garments:

17 He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with them: and the innocent shall divide the silver.

18 He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper hath he made a bower.

19 The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes, and find nothing.

20 Poverty as water shall apprehend him, in the night a tempest shall oppress him.

21 The burning wind shall take him up, and carry him away, and as a whirlwind shall pull him violently out of his place.

22 And he shall cast upon him, and shall not spare: out of his hand flying he shall fly.

23 He shall clasp his hands upon him, and shall hiss upon him, beholding his place.
