Job 20:18

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

¹⁷ so that he shall no more see the rivers, and brooks of honey and butter. ¹⁸ But he shall labour, and yet have nothing to eat. Great travail shall he make for riches, but he shall not enjoy them. ¹⁹ And why? He hath oppressed the poor, and not helped them: houses hath he spoiled, and not builded them.
