Job 27:16-23

1. 16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;

2. 17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

3. 18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.

4. 19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.

5. 20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.

6. 21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.

7. 22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

8. 23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
