Job 20

1Then answered^H6030 Zophar^H6691 the Naamathite^H5284, and said^H559, 2Therefore do my thoughts^H5587 give answer^H7725 to me, Even by reason of my haste^H2363 that is in me. 3I have heard^H8085 the reproof^H4148 which putteth me to shame^H3639; And the spirit^H7307 of my understanding^H998 answereth^H6030 me. 4Knowest^H3045 thou not this of old^H5703 time, Since man^H120 was placed^H7760 upon earth^H776, 5That the triumphing^H7445 of the wicked^H7563 is short^H7138, And the joy^H8057 of the godless^H2611 but for a moment^H7281? 6Though his height^H7863 mount up^H5927 to the heavens^H8064, And his head^H7218 reach^H5060 unto the clouds^H5645; 7Yet he shall perish^H6 for ever^H5331 like his own dung^H1561: They that have seen^H7200 him shall say^H559, Where^H335 is he? 8He shall fly away^H5774 as a dream^H2472, and shall not be found^H4672: Yea, he shall be chased away^H5074 as a vision^H2384 of the night^H3915. 9The eye^H5869 which saw^H7805 him shall see him no more^H3254; Neither shall his place^H4725 any more behold^H7789 him. 10His children^H1121 shall seek the favor^H7521 of the poor^H1800, And his hands^H3027 shall give back^H7725 his wealth^H202. 11His bones^H6106 are full^H4390 of his youth^H5934, But it shall lie down^H7901 with him in the dust^H6083. 12Though wickedness^H7451 be sweet^H4985 in his mouth^H6310, Though he hide^H3582 it under his tongue^H3956, 13Though he spare^H2550 it, and will not let it go^H5800, But keep it still^H4513 within^H8432 his mouth^H2441; 14Yet his food^H3899 in his bowels^H4578 is turned^H2015, It is the gall^H4846 of asps^H6620 within^H7130 him. 15He hath swallowed down^H1104 riches^H2428, and he shall vomit them up again^H6958; God^H410 will cast them out^H3423 of his belly^H990. 16He shall suck^H3243 the poison^H7219 of asps^H6620: The viper's^H660 tongue^H3956 shall slay^H2026 him. 17He shall not look^H7200 upon the rivers^H6390, The flowing^H5104 streams^H6390 of honey^H1706 and butter^H2529. 18That which he labored^H3022 for shall he restore^H7725, and shall not swallow it down^H1104; According to the substance^H2428 that he hath gotten^H8545, he shall not rejoice^H5965. 19For he hath oppressed^H7533 and forsaken^H5800 the poor^H1800; He hath violently taken away^H1497 a house^H1004, and he shall not build^H1129 it up. 20Because he knew^H3045 no quietness^H7961 within him^H990, He shall not save^H4422 aught of that wherein he delighteth^H2530. 21There was nothing^H400 left^H8300 that he devoured not; Therefore his prosperity^H2898 shall not endure^H2342. 22In the fulness^H4390 of his sufficiency^H5607 he shall be in straits^H3334: The hand^H3027 of every one that is in misery^H6001 shall come^H935 upon him. 23When he is about to fill^H4390 his belly^H990, God will cast^H7971 the fierceness^H2740 of his wrath^H639 upon him, And will rain^H4305 it upon him while he is eating^H3894. 24He shall flee^H1272 from the iron^H1270 weapon^H5402, And the bow^H7198 of brass^H5154 shall strike him through^H2498. 25He draweth^H8025 it forth, and it cometh out^H3318 of his body^H1465; Yea, the glittering point^H1300 cometh out^H1980 of his gall^H4846: Terrors^H367 are upon him. 26All darkness^H2822 is laid^H2934 up for his treasures^H6845: A fire^H784 not blown^H5301 by man shall devour^H398 him; It shall consume^H3415 that which is left^H8300 in his tent^H168. 27The heavens^H8064 shall reveal^H1540 his iniquity^H5771, And the earth^H776 shall rise up^H6965 against him. 28The increase^H2981 of his house^H1004 shall depart^H1540; His goods shall flow away^H5064 in the day^H3117 of his wrath^H639. 29This is the portion^H2506 of a wicked^H7563 man^H120 from God^H430, And the heritage^H5159 appointed^H561 unto him by God^H410.
