Job 27:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 27:14

12 Surely all of you have seen it;
Why then do you behave with complete nonsense?

13 “This^a is the portion of a wicked man with God,
And the heritage of oppressors, received from the Almighty:

14 ^aIf his children are multiplied, it is for the sword;
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

15 Those who survive him shall be buried in death,
And ^atheir widows shall not weep,

16 Though he heaps up silver like dust,
And piles up clothing like clay—

17 He may pile it up, but ^athe just will wear it,
And the innocent will divide the silver.

18 He builds his house like a¹ moth,
^aLike a¹ booth which a watchman makes.

19 The rich man will lie down,
¹But not be gathered up;
He opens his eyes,
And he is ^ano more.

20 ^aTerrors overtake him like a flood;
A tempest steals him away in the night.

21 The east wind carries him away, and he is gone;
It sweeps him out of his place.

22 It hurls against him and does not ^aspare;
He flees desperately from its¹ power.

23 Men shall clap their hands at him,
And shall hiss him out of his place.
