Job 20:13

if he retains it for himself and does not let it go, and holds it fast in his mouth, ¹ 

though he cannot bear to let it go and keeps it in his mouth,

Though he desires it and will not let it go, But holds it in his mouth,

He savored it, holding it long in his mouth.

Prolong the flavor, a dalliance in decadence--real gourmets of evil!

Though he takes care of it, and does not let it go, but keeps it still in his mouth;

though they are loath to let it go, and hold it in their mouths,

Though he spares it and does not forsake it, But still keeps it in his mouth,

if he retains it for himself and does not let it go, and holds it fast in his mouth, ¹ 

¹ tn Heb “in the middle of his palate.”
