Job 27:18-23

NLT

NIV

18 The wicked build houses as fragile as a spider’s web, as flimsy as a shelter made of branches.
18 The house he builds is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut made by a watchman.
19 The wicked go to bed rich but wake to find that all their wealth is gone.
19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.
20 Terror overwhelms them like a flood, and they are blown away in the storms of the night.
20 Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest snatches him away in the night.
21 The east wind carries them away, and they are gone. It sweeps them away.
21 The east wind carries him off, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
22 It whirls down on them without mercy. They struggle to flee from its power.
22 It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.
23 But everyone jeers at them and mocks them.
23 It claps its hands in derision and hisses him out of his place.”
