Job 20:21

“There was nothing left that he didn't devour, therefore his prosperity shall not endure.”

Verse in context — Job 20

For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.

Because he knew no quietness within him, he shall not save anything of that in which he delights.

There was nothing left that he didn't devour, therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress shall overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery shall come on him.

When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
