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.📜💬📚
