Job 27:17-19
Good News Translation

17 but some good person will wear the clothes,
    and someone honest will get the silver.
18 The wicked build houses like a spider's web[a]
    or like the hut of a slave guarding the fields.
19 One last time[b] they will lie down rich,
    and when they wake up, they will find their wealth gone.
