And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said, |
2
|
Therefore my thoughts cause me to answer, even because of my haste in me. |
3
|
I have heard the rebuke meant to shame me, and the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer. |
4
|
Do you know this from days of old, from the setting of man on earth, |
5
|
that the exulting of the wicked is short, and the joy of the ungodly is for a moment? |
6
|
Though his honor mounts up to the heavens, and his head reaches to the clouds, |
7
|
he shall perish forever like his dung; they who see him shall say, Where is he? |
8
|
He flies away like a dream, and shall not be found, and shall be chased away like a vision of the night. |
9
|
An eye glimpsed him, but will not again; yea, his place shall not see him again. |
10
|
His sons shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore his wealth. |
11
|
His bones are full of his youthful vigor, but it lies down with him in the dust. |
12
|
Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hides it under his tongue; |
13
|
though he spares it and will not leave it; yea, keeps it still in his mouth; |
14
|
yet his food in his belly shall be turned; the gall of asps is within him. |
15
|
He swallows riches, but vomits it; God shall cast them out of his belly. |
16
|
He shall suck the poison of asps; the viper's tongue shall slay him. |
17
|
He shall not see the rivers, the flowings of the brooks of honey and butter, |
18
|
giving back his gain, and he will not eat. As to the wealth of his trading, even he shall not enjoy it. |
19
|
For he pressed down and forsook the poor; he stole a house, but he had not built it. |
20
|
Surely he shall not know quietness in his belly; he will not escape with the things of desire. |
21
|
None of his food shall be left; therefore his good will not last. |
22
|
In the fullness of his plenty he shall be in trouble; every wretched one shall come on him. |
23
|
It shall happen at the filling of his belly, God shall cast the fury of His wrath on him, and He shall rain on him while he is eating. |
24
|
He shall flee from the iron weapon, a bow of bronze shall pierce him. |
25
|
One draws it, and treads it from behind, even lightning from his gall; terror is on him. |
26
|
All darkness shall be hidden in his secret places; a fire not blown shall consume him; those left in his tent shall be broken. |
27
|
The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth rise up against him. |
28
|
The increase of his house shall depart, and shall flow away in the day of his wrath. |
29
|
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the inheritance of his word from God. |
