Job 15:16-29
-
16 How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
-
17 I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
-
18 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
-
19 Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
-
20 The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
-
21 A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
-
22 He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
-
23 He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
-
24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
-
25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
-
26 He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
-
27 Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
-
28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
-
29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
