Job 20:14

¹² Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;

¹³ Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:

Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.

¹⁵ He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

¹⁶ He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
