Job 20:14 — Meaning and Application

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.

He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
