Proverbs 20:17

King James Version

¹⁷Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

¹⁷He would crush me^(A) with a storm^(B)
and multiply^(C) my wounds for no reason.^(D)

¹⁷For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

¹⁸He would not let me catch my breath
but would overwhelm me with misery.^(A)

¹⁸He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
