Bible. Job
18:020:006 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head
reach unto the clouds;
18:020:007 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which
have seen him shall say, Where is he?
18:020:008 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he
shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
18:020:009 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither
shall his place any more behold him.
18:020:010 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands
shall restore their goods.
18:020:011 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie
down with him in the dust.
18:020:012 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it
under his tongue;
18:020:013 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still
within his mouth:
18:020:014 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps
within him.
18:020:015 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up
again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
18:020:016 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall
slay him.
18:020:017 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey
and butter.
18:020:018 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.
18:020:019 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because
he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
18:020:020 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not
save of that which he desired.
18:020:021 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man
look for his goods.
18:020:022 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits:
every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
18:020:023 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.
18:020:024 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall
strike him through.
18:020:025 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering
sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
18:020:026 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.
18:020:027 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise
up against him.
18:020:028 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall
flow away in the day of his wrath.
18:020:029 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage
appointed unto him by God.
18:021:001 But Job answered and said,
