Job 20:19

A Wicked Person's Joy Is Short, His Pain Long

¹⁸ That which he laboured for shall he restore, and not swallow down; its restitution shall be according to the value, and he shall not rejoice therein. ¹⁹ For he hath oppressed, hath forsaken the poor; he hath violently taken away a house that he did not build. ²⁰ Because he knew no rest in his craving, he shall save nought of what he most desired.
