Job 20:18

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

¹⁷ Let him not see in the channels the flowings of torrents of honey and milk. ¹⁸ In vain, he toiled, he shall not swallow, like wealth to be restored, in which he cannot exult! ¹⁹ For he hath oppressed - hath forsaken the poor, A house, hath he seized, which he cannot rebuild.
