Job 27:13-23
13 a “This is the portion of a wicked man with God,and the heritage that b oppressors receive from the Almighty:
14 If his c children are multiplied, it is for d the sword,
and his descendants have not enough bread.
15 Those who survive him the pestilence buries,
and his e widows do not weep.
16 Though he f heap up silver like dust,
and pile up clothing like clay,
17 he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,
and g the innocent will divide the silver.
18 He builds his h house like a moth’s,
like i a booth that j a watchman makes.
19 He goes to bed rich, but will k do so no more;
he opens his eyes, and l his wealth is gone.
20 m Terrors overtake him like n a flood;
in the night a whirlwind o carries him off.
21 p The east wind lifts him up and he is gone;
it q sweeps him out of his place.
22 It ▼

Or his; also verse 23
power in headlong flight.23 It u claps its hands at him
and v hisses at him from its place.
