Job 20:12

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

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

In context

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.

12 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.
