Job 20:16

"The poisonous greed proved the undoing of the ungodly" (Strauss p. 200). The more. man engages in sin the more poison he is actually ingesting. This is. great point, too bad it was directed at an innocent man! "The rebellious sinner savors wickedness like. sweet delicacy, hesitating even to swallow, yet, when he finally ingests it, it becomes poison within. The consequence of sin is bitter indeed" The sinner who 'sucks up' the gain of others will find it poison in his own system" (Jackson p. 53).
