Job 20:12-16
New American Standard Bible
12 “Though (A)evil tastes sweet in his mouth
And he hides it under his tongue,
13 Though he [a]desires it and will not let it go,
But holds it (B)in his [b]mouth,
14 Yet his food in his stomach is changed
To the [c]venom of cobras within him.
15 He swallows riches,
But will (C)vomit them up;
God will expel them from his belly.
16 He sucks (D)the poison of cobras;
The viper’s tongue kills him.
Job 20:12-16
New International Version
12 “Though evil(A) is sweet in his mouth
and he hides it under his tongue,(B)
13 though he cannot bear to let it go
and lets it linger in his mouth,(C)
14 yet his food will turn sour in his stomach;(D)
it will become the venom of serpents(E) within him.
15 He will spit out the riches(F) he swallowed;
God will make his stomach vomit(G) them up.
16 He will suck the poison(H) of serpents;
the fangs of an adder will kill him.(I)
Amos 8:10
New American Standard Bible
10 Then I will (A)turn your festivals into mourning,
And all your songs into songs of mourning;
And I will put (B)sackcloth around everyone’s waist,
And [a]baldness on every head.
And I will make it (C)like a time of mourning for an only son,
And the end of it will be like a bitter day.
