Job 20:12 — Meaning and Application

His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods. {His children...: or, The poor shall oppress his children}

His bones are full {of the sin} of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.

Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, {though} he hide it under his tongue;

{Though} he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth: {within...: Heb. in the midst of his palate}

{Yet} his meat in his bowels is turned, {it is} the gall of asps within him.
