    Job 20
    • 1   Then Sophar the Naamathite answered, and said:
    • 2   Therefore various thoughts succeed one another in me, and my mind is hurried away to different things.
    • 3   The doctrine with which thou reprovest me, I will hear, and the spirit of my understanding shall answer for me.
    • 4   This I know from the beginning, since man was placed upon the earth,
    • 5   That the praise of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment.
    • 6   If his pride mount up even to heaven, and his head touch the clouds:
    • 7   In the end he shall be destroyed like a dunghill, and they that had seen him, shall say: Where is he?
    • 8   As a dream that fleeth away he shall not be found, he shall pass as a vision of the night:
    • 9   The eyes that had seen him, shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more behold him.
    • 10   His children shall be oppressed with want, and his hands shall render to him his sorrow.
    • 11   His bones shall be filled with the vices of his youth, and they shall sleep with him in the dust.
    • 12   For when evil shall be sweet in his mouth, he will hide it under his tongue.
    • 13   He will spare it, and not leave it, and will hide it in his throat.
    • 14   His bread in his belly shall be turned into the gall of asps within him,
    • 15   The riches which he hath swallowed, he shall vomit up, and God shall draw them out of his belly.
    • 16   He shall suck the head of asps, and the viper's tongue shall kill him.
    • 17   Let him not see the streams of the river, the brooks of honey and of butter.
    • 18   He shall be punished for all that he did, and yet shall not be consumed: according to the multitude of his devices so also shall he suffer.
    • 19   Because he broke in and stripped the poor: he hath violently taken away a house which he did not build.
    • 20   And yet his belly was not filled: and when he hath the things he coveted, he shall not be able to possess them.
    • 21   There was nothing left of his meat, and therefore nothing shall continue of his goods:
    • 22   When he shall be filled, he shall be straitened, he shall burn, and every sorrow shall fall upon him.
    • 23   May his belly be filled, that God may send forth the wrath of his indignation upon him, and rain down his war upon him.
    • 24   He shall flee from weapons of iron, and shall fall upon a bow of brass.
    • 25   The sword is drawn out, and cometh forth from its scabbard, and glittereth in his bitterness: the terrible ones shall go and come upon him.
    • 26   All darkness is hid in his secret places: a fire that is not kindled shall devour him, he shall be afflicted when left in his tabernacle.
    • 27   The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.
    • 28   The offspring of his house shall be exposed, he shall be pulled down in the day of God's wrath.
    • 29   This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the inheritance of his doings from the Lord.
