Job 20:19

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

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. ²⁰ His belly could never be filled; therefore shall he perish in his covetousness.
