(Job 20:3) I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
(Job 20:4) Knowest thou {not} this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
(Job 20:5) That the triumphing of the wicked {is} short, and the joy of the hypocrite {but} for a moment?
(Job 20:6) Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
(Job 20:7) {Yet} he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where {is} he?
(Job 20:8) He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.

(Job 20:10) His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
(Job 20:11) His bones are full {of the sin} of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
(Job 20:12) Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, {though} he hide it under his tongue;
(Job 20:13) {Though} he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
(Job 20:14) {Yet} his meat in his bowels is turned, {it is} the gall of asps within him.
(Job 20:15) He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
(Job 20:16) He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
(Job 20:17) He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
(Job 20:18) That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow {it} down: according to {his} substance {shall} the restitution {be}, and he shall not rejoice {therein}.
(Job 20:19) Because he hath oppressed {and} hath forsaken the poor; {because} he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
(Job 20:20) Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
(Job 20:21) There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
(Job 20:22) In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
(Job 20:23) {When} he is about to fill his belly, {God} shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain {it} upon him while he is eating.
(Job 20:24) He shall flee from the iron weapon, {and} the bow of steel shall strike him through.
(Job 20:25) It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors {are} upon him.
(Job 20:26) All darkness {shall be} hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
