Job 20:12-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth,
and he hides it under his tongue,
13 Though he retains it and will not let it go
but keeps it still within his mouth,
14 Yet in his stomach the food shall turn;
it shall be venom of asps inside him.
15 The riches he swallowed he shall vomit up;
God shall make his belly disgorge them.
16 The poison of asps he shall drink in;
the viper’s fangs shall slay him.
Job 20:12-16
New International Version
12 “Though evil(A) is sweet in his mouth
and he hides it under his tongue,(B)
13 though he cannot bear to let it go
and lets it linger in his mouth,(C)
14 yet his food will turn sour in his stomach;(D)
it will become the venom of serpents(E) within him.
15 He will spit out the riches(F) he swallowed;
God will make his stomach vomit(G) them up.
16 He will suck the poison(H) of serpents;
the fangs of an adder will kill him.(I)
