Job Chapter 20 Verse 12Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, [though] he hide it under his tongue;

Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for [this] I make haste.

I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.

Knowest thou [not] this of old, since man was placed upon earth,

That the triumphing of the wicked [is] short, and the joy of the hypocrite [but] for a moment?

Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;

[Yet] he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where [is] he?

He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.

The eye also [which] saw him shall [see him] no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.

His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.

His bones are full [of the sin] of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.

[Though] he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:

[Yet] his meat in his bowels is turned, [it is] the gall of asps within him.

He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.

He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.

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].

Because he hath oppressed [and] hath forsaken the poor; [because] he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;

Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.

There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.

In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
