16 He shall suck the [a]gall of Asps, and the viper’s tongue shall slay him.
17 He shall not see the [b]rivers, nor the floods and streams of honey and butter.

- Job 20:16 He compareth evil gotten goods to the venom of Asps, which serpent is most dangerous: noting that Job’s great riches were not truly come by and therefore God did plague him justly for the same.
- Job 20:17 Though God give to all other abundance of his blessings, yet he shall have no part thereof.
- Job 20:18 That is, these raveners and spoilers of the poor shall enjoy their theft but for a time: for after, God will take it from them, and cause them to make restitution, so that it is but an exchange.
