Job 20 in the early church

the triumph of the wicked has been brief and the joy of the godless momentary?

Though his arrogance reaches the heavens, and his head touches the clouds,

he will perish forever, like his own dung; those who had seen him will ask, ‘Where is he?’

He will fly away like a dream, never to be found; he will be chased away like a vision in the night.

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

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

He swallows wealth but vomits it out; God will force it from his stomach.

He will not enjoy the streams, the rivers flowing with honey and cream.

He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it; he cannot enjoy the profits of his trading.

In the midst of his plenty, he will be distressed; the full force of misery will come upon him.

When he has filled his stomach, God will vent His fury upon him, raining it down on him as he eats.

Though he flees from an iron weapon, a bronze-tipped arrow will pierce him.

It is drawn out of his back, the gleaming point from his liver. Terrors come over him.

Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. A fire unfanned will consume him and devour what is left in his tent.

The heavens will expose his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him.

The possessions of his house will be removed, flowing away on the day of God’s wrath.

This is the wicked man’s portion from God, the inheritance God has appointed him.”
