Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, |
2
|
Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for [this] I make haste. |
3
|
I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer. |
4
|
Knowest thou [not] this of old, since man was placed upon earth, |
5
|
That the triumphing of the wicked [is] short, and the joy of the hypocrite [but] for a moment? |
6
|
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds; |
7
|
[Yet] he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where [is] he? |
8
|
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. |
9
|
The eye also [which] saw him shall [see him] no more; neither shall his place any more behold him. |
10
|
His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods. |
11
|
His bones are full [of the sin] of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust. |
12
|
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, [though] he hide it under his tongue; |
13
|
[Though] he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth: |
14
|
[Yet] his meat in his bowels is turned, [it is] the gall of asps within him. |
15
|
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: 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 floods, the brooks of honey and butter. |
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. ] |
19
|
Because he hath oppressed [and] hath forsaken the poor; [because] he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not; |
20
|
Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired. |
21
|
There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods. |
22
|
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him. |
23
|
[When] he is about to fill his belly, [God] shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain [it] upon him while he is eating. |
24
|
He shall flee from the iron weapon, [and] the bow of steel shall strike him through. |
25
|
It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors [are] upon him. |
26
|
All darkness [shall be] hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle. |
27
|
The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him. |
28
|
The increase of his house shall depart, [and his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath. |
29
|
This [is] the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God. |
