Job 20:18-20

New King James Version

¹⁸He will restore that for which he labored,
And will not swallow it down;
From the proceeds of business
He will get no enjoyment.
¹⁹For he has ^[a]oppressed and forsaken the poor,
He has violently seized a house which he did not build.

²⁰“Because^(A) he knows no quietness in his ^[b]heart,
He will not save anything he desires.
