Bible verse
For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; he has seized houses he did not build.
Job 20:19 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 20.
15 He swallows wealth but vomits it out; God will force it from his stomach.
16 He will suck the poison of cobras; the fangs of a viper will kill him.
17 He will not enjoy the streams, the rivers flowing with honey and cream.
18 He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it; he cannot enjoy the profits of his trading.
19 For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; he has seized houses he did not build.
20 Because his appetite is never satisfied, he cannot escape with his treasure.
21 Nothing is left for him to consume; thus his prosperity will not endure.
22 In the midst of his plenty, he will be distressed; the full force of misery will come upon him.
23 When he has filled his stomach, God will vent His fury upon him, raining it down on him as he eats.
