Job 27:18 in context

  1. 16Though he heap up silver as the dust,
    and prepare clothing as the clay;
  2. 17he may prepare it, but the just will put it on,
    and the innocent will divide the silver.
  3. 18He builds his house as the moth,
    as a booth which the watchman makes.
  4. 19He lies down rich, but he will not do so again.
    He opens his eyes, and he is not.
  5. 20Terrors overtake him like waters.
    A storm steals him away in the night.
