"When he falls asleep, the rich man will leave him with nothing; he will open his eyes and find nothing. "
— Job 27:19, Catholic Public Domain Version
“The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.”
“He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered to his fathers; He openeth his eyes, and he is not. ”
“He lies down rich, but he shall not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.”
“He goes to bed wealthy, but will do so no more. When he opens his eyes, it is all gone.”
“The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes and find nothing.”
“He goes to rest full of wealth, but does so for the last time: on opening his eyes, he sees it there no longer.”
“The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.”
If he will amass silver as if it were dirt and fabricate garments as if they were clay,
then yes, he will gather, but the just will be clothed with it and the innocent will divide the silver.
He has built his house like a moth, and he has made a makeshift shelter like a sentry.
When he falls asleep, the rich man will leave him with nothing; he will open his eyes and find nothing.
Destitution will surround him like water; a storm will overwhelm him in the night.
A burning wind will pick him up and carry him away, and, like a whirlwind, it will rush him from his place.
And it will hurl over him and will not spare him; fleeing from its power, he will go into exile.
