Job 20:13

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

though he cannot bear to let it go and keeps it in his mouth,

In context

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.

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