JOB C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10 C11 C12 C13 C14 C15 C16 C17 C18 C19 C20 C21 C22 C23 C24 C25 C26 C27 C28 C29 C30 C31 C32 C33 C34 C35 C36 C37 C38 C39 C40 C41 C42
20 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
2 Nay, not so do my thoughts make answer;
And therefore my heart is uproused.
3 Must I hear thine insulting reproof,
While mere breath without sense is thine answer?
4 Knowest thou not this from of old,
From the time there were men on the earth,
5 That the song of the wicked is short,
And the hypocrite’s joy but a moment?
6 Though his majesty mount on the heavens,
And his head reach unto the clouds,
7 He shall utterly perish like dung;
Those that knew him shall ask, "Where is he?"
8 Like a dream he shall fly beyond finding,
Dispelled like a vision of night.
9 No more shall the eye see that saw him;
His place shall behold him no more.
10 His sons shall be crushed by privation;
His wealth shall his children restore.
11 The vigour of youth filled his bones,
But within him it shall lie in the dust.
12 Though evil be sweet in his mouth,
As he keeps it hid under his tongue;
13 Though he spare it and let it not go,
But still holdeth it back in his mouth;
14 Yet his food in his stomach is turned;
It is poison of asps within him.
15 The wealth that he swallowed he vomits;
God easteth it forth from his belly.
16 The poison of asps he has sucked,
And the tongue of the viper shall slay him.
17 No rivers of oil shall he see,
No torrents of honey and butter.
18 His increasing gain brings him no gladness;
His traffickling yields him no joy;
19 For he crushed down the gains of the poor,
And he plundered the house that he built not.
20 His treasures have brought him no peace.
And his precious things cannot deliver.
21 And since none has escaped his devouring,
His own fortune shall not endure.
22 Brought to straits in the fullness of plenty,
The fell force of trouble assails him.
23 He shall let loose His hot wrath against him,
And terrors shall rain down upon him.
24 As he flees from the weapon of iron,
And bronze bow pierces him through.
25 The missle comes out at his back,
And the glittering point from his gall.
Terrors keep coming upon him;
26 Deep darkness is stored up for him.
A mysterious fire shall devour him,
And ravage those left in his tent.
27 The heavens shall reveal his guilt,
And the earth shalll rise up against him.
28 His house shall be swept by destruction,
Accursed in the day of His wrath.
29 Such the wicked man’s portion from God,
God’s heritage unto the rebel.
