Job 20:25

Verse 25 of 29. The 20th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

21There was nothing left that he didn’t devour, therefore his prosperity will not endure.

22In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress will overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery will come on him.

23When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.

24He will flee from the iron weapon. The bronze arrow will strike him through.

25He draws it out, and it comes out of his body. Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver. Terrors are on him.

26All darkness is laid up for his treasures. An unfanned fire will devour him. It will consume that which is left in his tent.

27The heavens will reveal his iniquity. The earth will rise up against him.

28The increase of his house will depart. They will rush away in the day of his wrath.

29This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the heritage appointed to him by God.”
