Job 27:16-23 ▼

16 If he heaps up silver as dust, || And prepares clothing as clay,

17 He prepares—and the righteous puts [it] on, || And the innocent apportions the silver.

18 He has built his house as a moth, || And as a shelter a watchman has made.

19 He lies down rich, and he is not gathered, || He has opened his eyes, and he is not.

20 Terrors overtake him as waters, || By night a whirlwind has stolen him away.

21 An east wind takes him up, and he goes, || And it frightens him from his place,

22 And it casts at him, and does not spare, || He diligently flees from its hand.

23 It claps its hands at him, || And it hisses at him from his place.”
