Job 20:22

Read in context

Job 20:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

20 Because his appetite is never satisfied, he cannot escape with his treasure.

21 Nothing is left for him to consume; thus his prosperity will not endure.

22 In the midst of his plenty, he will be distressed; the full force of misery will come upon him.

23 When he has filled his stomach, God will vent His fury upon him, raining it down on him as he eats.

24 Though he flees from an iron weapon, a bronze-tipped arrow will pierce him.
