King James Version with Apocrypha
"Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;"
— Job 27:16, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;”
“Though he heap up silver as the dust, And prepare raiment as the clay; ”
“Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;”
“If he piles up silver like dust and stores up clothing like mounds of clay,”
“If he shall heap together silver as earth, and prepare raiment as clay,”
“Though he may get silver together like dust, and make ready great stores of clothing;”
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
