Job 20:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ What the evil people swallow is like poison;
    it kills them like the bite of a deadly snake.
¹⁷ They will not live to see rivers of olive oil^[a]
    or streams that flow with milk and honey.
¹⁸ They will have to give up all they have worked for;
    they will have no chance to enjoy their wealth,
