American Standard Version
"Though he spare it, and will not let it go, But keep it still within his mouth; "
— Job 20:13, American Standard Version
“Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:”
“though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;”
“if he retains it for himself and does not let it go, and holds it fast in his mouth,”
“He will spare it, and not leave it, and will hide it in his throat.”
“Though he takes care of it, and does not let it go, but keeps it still in his mouth;”
“Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:”
His children shall seek the favor of the poor, And his hands shall give back his wealth.
His bones are full of his youth, But it 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 will not let it go, But keep it still within his mouth;
Yet his food 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 will cast them out of his belly.
He shall suck the poison of asps: The viper’s tongue shall slay him.
