Job 20:13 Context
11His bones are ful of the sinne of his youth, which shall ye downe with him in the dust. 12Though wickednes be sweet in his mouth, though hee hide it vnder his tongue; 13Though he spare it, and forsake it not, but keepe it stil within his mouth: 14Yet his meate in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of Aspes within him. 15He hath swallowed downe riches, and hee shall vomite them vp againe: God shall cast them out of his belly.
