Job 20:18

That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.

KJV

Luet quæ fecit omnia, nec tamen consumetur : juxta multitudinem adinventionum suarum, sic et sustinebit.

Vulgate

εἰς κενὰ καὶ μάταια ἐκοπίασεν, πλοῦτον ἐξ οὗ οὐ γεύσεται· ὥσπερ στρίφνος ἀμάσητος, ἀκατάποτος.

LXX

That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down; According to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.
