NET Bible
"if he retains it for himself and does not let it go, and holds it fast in his mouth,"
— Job 20:13, NET Bible
“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; ”
“though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within 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 sons must recompense the poor; his own hands must return his wealth.
His bones were full of his youthful vigor, but that vigor will lie down with him in the dust.
“If evil is sweet in his mouth and he hides it under his tongue,
if he retains it for himself and does not let it go, and holds it fast in his mouth,
his food is turned sour in his stomach; it becomes the venom of serpents within him.
The wealth that he consumed he vomits up, God will make him throw it out of his stomach.
He sucks the poison of serpents; the fangs of a viper kill him.
