Job 20:12

¹⁰ His sons will seek the favor of the poor, for his own hands must return his wealth.

¹¹ The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie down with him in the dust.

Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he conceals it under his tongue,

¹³ though he cannot bear to let it go and keeps it in his mouth,

¹⁴ yet in his stomach his food sours into the venom of cobras within him.
