23 When he has filled his belly,(A)
    God will vent his burning anger(B) against him
    and rain down his blows on him.(C)
24 Though he flees(D) from an iron weapon,
    a bronze-tipped arrow pierces him.(E)
25 He pulls it out of his back,
    the gleaming point out of his liver.
Terrors(F) will come over him;(G)
26     total darkness(H) lies in wait for his treasures.
A fire(I) unfanned will consume him(J)
    and devour what is left in his tent.(K)
27 The heavens will expose his guilt;
    the earth will rise up against him.(L)
28 A flood will carry off his house,(M)
    rushing waters[a] on the day of God’s wrath.(N)
29 Such is the fate God allots the wicked,
    the heritage appointed for them by God.”(O)

  1. Job 20:28 Or The possessions in his house will be carried off, / washed away

23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.

25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.

26 All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.

27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.

28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

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