Job 20:12
Job 20:12 New International Version (NIV)
“Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he hides it under his tongue
Job 20:12 New Living Translation (NLT)
“They enjoyed the sweet taste of wickedness, letting it melt under their tongue.
Job 20:12-19 The Message (MSG)
“They savor evil as a delicacy, roll it around on their tongues, Prolong the flavor, a dalliance in decadence— real gourmets of evil! But then they get stomach cramps, a bad case of food poisoning. They gag on all that rich food; God makes them vomit it up. They gorge on evil, make a diet of that poison— a deadly diet—and it kills them. No quiet picnics for them beside gentle streams with fresh-baked bread and cheese, and tall, cool drinks. They spit out their food half-chewed, unable to relax and enjoy anything they’ve worked for. And why? Because they exploited the poor, took what never belonged to them.
