Job 20:12-14
Jubilee Bible 2000
12 If wickedness was sweet in his mouth, if he hid it under his tongue,
13 if it seemed good unto him, and he did not forsake it, but savored it within his mouth,
14 his food shall be changed in his bowels, it shall be the gall of asps within him.

Job 20:12-14
New King James Version
12 “Though evil is sweet in his mouth,
And he hides it under his tongue,
13 Though he spares it and does not forsake it,
But still keeps it in his [a]mouth,
14 Yet his food in his stomach turns sour;
It becomes cobra venom within him.
