    Job 20
    • 1   And Zophar the Naamathite answereth and saith: --
    • 2   Therefore my thoughts cause me to answer, And because of my sensations in me.
    • 3   The chastisement of my shame I hear, And the spirit of mine understanding Doth cause me to answer:
    • 4   This hast thou known from antiquity? Since the placing of man on earth?
    • 5   That the singing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the profane for a moment,
    • 6   Though his excellency go up to the heavens, And his head against a cloud he strike--
    • 7   As his own dung for ever he doth perish, His beholders say: `Where is he?'
    • 8   As a dream he fleeth, and they find him not, And he is driven away as a vision of the night,
    • 9   The eye hath not seen him, and addeth not. And not again doth his place behold him.
    • 10   His sons do the poor oppress, And his hands give back his wealth.
    • 11   His bones have been full of his youth, And with him on the dust it lieth down.
    • 12   Though he doth sweeten evil in his mouth, Doth hide it under his tongue,
    • 13   Hath pity on it, and doth not forsake it, And keep it back in the midst of his palate,
    • 14   His food in his bowels is turned, The bitterness of asps is in his heart.
    • 15   Wealth he hath swallowed, and doth vomit it. From his belly God driveth it out.
    • 16   Gall of asps he sucketh, Slay him doth the tongue of a viper.
    • 17   He looketh not on rivulets, Flowing of brooks of honey and butter.
    • 18   He is giving back what he laboured for, And doth not consume it ; As a bulwark is his exchange, and he exults not.
    • 19   For he oppressed--he forsook the poor, A house he hath taken violently away, And he doth not build it.
    • 20   For he hath not known ease in his belly. With his desirable thing he delivereth not himself.
    • 21   There is not a remnant to his food, Therefore his good doth not stay.
    • 22   In the fulness of his sufficiency he is straitened. Every perverse hand doth meet him.
    • 23   It cometh to pass, at the filling of his belly, He sendeth forth against him The fierceness of His anger, Yea, He raineth on him in his eating.
    • 24   He fleeth from an iron weapon, Pass through him doth a bow of brass.
    • 25   One hath drawn, And it cometh out from the body, And a glittering weapon from his gall proceedeth. On him are terrors.
    • 26   All darkness is hid for his treasures, Consume him doth a fire not blown, Broken is the remnant in his tent.
    • 27   Reveal do the heavens his iniquity, And earth is raising itself against him.
    • 28   Remove doth the increase of his house, Poured forth in a day of His anger.
    • 29   This is the portion of a wicked man from God. And an inheritance appointed him by God.
