Job 20:16 in Context — Job 20
14 Mais sa nourriture se transformera dans ses entrailles, Elle deviendra dans son corps un venin d’aspic.
15 Il a englouti des richesses, il les vomira; Dieu les chassera de son ventre.
16 Il a sucé du venin d’aspic, La langue de la vipère le tuera.
17 Il ne reposera plus ses regards sur les ruisseaux, Sur les torrents, sur les fleuves de miel et de lait.
18 Il rendra ce qu’il a gagné, et n’en profitera plus; Il restituera tout ce qu’il a pris, et n’en jouira plus.
