Job 20:19

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

¹⁸ He is giving back what he laboured for, And doth not consume it; As a bulwark is his exchange, and he exults not. ¹⁹ For he oppressed -- he forsook the poor, A house he hath taken violently away, And he doth not build it. ²⁰ For he hath not known ease in his belly. With his desirable thing he delivereth not himself.
