Job 20:18

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

¹⁷ Let him not see the rivers of oil, the streams of honey and milk. ¹⁸ He is forced to give back the fruit of his work, and may not take it for food; he has no joy in the profit of his trading. ¹⁹ Because he has been cruel to the poor, turning away from them in their trouble; because he has taken a house by force which he did not put up;
