Job 20:5-29
the triumph of the wicked has been short lived and the joy of the godless has been only temporary?Though the pride of the godless reaches to the heavens and their heads touch the clouds,yet they will vanish forever, thrown away like their own dung. Those who knew them will ask,‘ Where are they?’They will fade like a dream and not be found. They will vanish like a vision in the night.Those who once saw them will see them no more. Their families will never see them again.Their children will beg from the poor, for they must give back their stolen riches.Though they are young, their bones will lie in the dust.“ They enjoyed the sweet taste of wickedness, letting it melt under their tongue.They savored it, holding it long in their mouths.But suddenly the food in their bellies turns sour, a poisonous venom in their stomach.They will vomit the wealth they swallowed. God won’t let them keep it down.They will suck the poison of cobras. The viper will kill them.They will never again enjoy streams of olive oil or rivers of milk and honey.They will give back everything they worked for. Their wealth will bring them no joy.For they oppressed the poor and left them destitute. They foreclosed on their homes.They were always greedy and never satisfied. Nothing remains of all the things they dreamed about.Nothing is left after they finish gorging themselves. Therefore, their prosperity will not endure.“ In the midst of plenty, they will run into trouble and be overcome by misery.May God give them a bellyful of trouble. May God rain down his anger upon them.When they try to escape an iron weapon, a bronze tipped arrow will pierce them.The arrow is pulled from their back, and the arrowhead glistens with blood. The terrors of death are upon them.Their treasures will be thrown into deepest darkness. A wildfire will devour their goods, consuming all they have left.The heavens will reveal their guilt, and the earth will testify against them.A flood will sweep away their house. God’s anger will descend on them in torrents.This is the reward that God gives the wicked. It is the inheritance decreed by God.”
