Bible verse
Though he heaps up silver like dust and piles up a wardrobe like clay,
Job 27:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 27.
12 Surely all of you have seen it for yourselves. Why then do you keep up this empty talk?
13 This is the wicked man’s portion from God—the heritage the ruthless receive from the Almighty.
14 Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; and his offspring will never have enough food.
15 His survivors will be buried by the plague, and their widows will not weep for them.
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust and piles up a wardrobe like clay,
17 what he lays up, the righteous will wear, and his silver will be divided by the innocent.
18 The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut set up by a watchman.
19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.
20 Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest sweeps him away in the night.
