Job 20:7–10

¹⁰Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.

³⁷And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.

¹⁰But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?

²⁰They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.

¹⁰He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

¹⁸If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.

¹⁰Which perished at En-dor: they became as dung for the earth.

²And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.

⁵Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

²⁰As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

⁷¶ And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.

⁸It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.

¹⁸He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

²¹The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.

²²For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

²³Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

¹⁰And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

⁸The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

¹⁰He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

¹⁸If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.

⁷Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?

¹⁰For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

³⁶Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

³All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

¹⁵As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

¹⁶For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

¹⁸That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.

¹⁶Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;

¹⁷He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

⁸And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

⁶And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.

³⁶And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

¹IF a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.

³If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.

²For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,

⁴His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.

³A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leaveth no food.

³¹But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

¹⁰Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
