Job 20:13

Job 20:13 in 10 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

13though he cannot bear to let it go

and lets it linger in his mouth,

13 Though he desires it and will not let it go,

But holds it in his mouth,

13Though he desires it and will not let it go

But holds it in his mouth,

13though he cannot bear to let it go

and keeps it in his mouth,

13Though he spare it, and will not let it go,

But keep it still within his mouth;

13And fauoured it, and would not forsake it, but kept it close in his mouth,

13though he spare it, and will not let it go,

but keep it still within his mouth,

13They can’t stand to let it go.

So they hold it in their mouths.

13He continues to enjoy wicked things,

like the taste of sweet food that he keeps in his mouth.

13has pity on it, and does not forsake it, and keeps it back in the midst of his palate,
