Job 20:29

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

This is the portion of a wicked man from God: and the inheritance of his doings from the Lord.

See the chapter Copy

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

These men are the tabernacles of the wicked, and this the place of him that knoweth not God.

And shall separate him, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Mem. Shall not both evil and good proceed out of the mouth of the Highest?

Then Job answered, and said:

Because the wicked man is reserved to the day of destruction: and he shall be brought to the day of wrath.

This is thy lot and the portion of thy measure from me, saith the Lord, because thou hast forgotten me and hast trusted in falsehood.

Is not their exaltation cut down, and hath not fire devoured the remnants of them?
