Job

Job 27:13–15

¹³This is the wicked man’s portion from God —

the heritage the ruthless receive from the Almighty.

¹⁴Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword;

and his offspring will never have enough food.

¹⁵His survivors will be buried by the plague,

and their widows will not weep for them.
