Job 20

1And ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284 answered and saidH559, 2ThereforeH3651 do my thoughts give me an answer, and for this is my haste within me. 3I hearH8085 a reproof putting me to shame; and [my] spiritH7307 answereth me by mine understandingH998. 4Knowest thou [not] this, that of old, since manH120 was placedH7760 upon earthH776, 5The exultation of the wickedH7563 is short, and the joyH8057 of the ungodly man but for a momentH7281? 6Though his height mount up to the heavensH8064, and his headH7218 reachH5060 unto the cloudsH5645, 7Like his own dungH1561 doth he perishH6 for ever; they which have seenH7200 him shall sayH559, WhereH335 is he? 8He flieth awayH5074 as a dreamH2472, and is not foundH4672; and is chased awayH5074 as a visionH2384 of the nightH3915. 9The eyeH5869 which saw him shall [see him] not againH5750; and his placeH4725 beholdeth him no more. 10His children shall seek the favour of the poorH1800, and his handsH3027 restoreH7725 his wealthH202. 11His bonesH6106 were fullH4390 of his youthful strength; but it shall lieH7901 down with him in the dustH6083. 12Though wickednessH7451 be sweetH4985 in his mouthH6310 [and] he hideH3582 it under his tongueH3956, 13[Though] he spareH2550 it, and forsakeH5800 it not, but keep it within his mouthH2441, 14His foodH3899 is turnedH2015 in his bowelsH4578; it is the gall of asps within him. 15He hath swallowedH1104 down riches, but he shall vomitH6958 them up again: 1GodH410 shall cast them out of his bellyH990. 16He shall suckH3243 the poisonH7219 of asps; the viper's tongueH3956 shall killH2026 him. 17He shall not seeH7200 streams, riversH5104, brooks of honeyH1706 and butter. 18That which he laboured for shall he restoreH7725, and not swallowH1104 down; its restitution shall be according to the value, and he shall not rejoice [therein]. 19For he hath oppressed, hath forsaken the poorH1800; he hath violently taken awayH1497 a houseH1004 that he did not buildH1129. 20Because he knewH3045 no rest in his craving, he shall saveH4422 nought of what he most desiredH2530. 21Nothing escaped his greediness; thereforeH3651 his prosperityH2898 shall not endure. 22In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits; every handH3027 of the wretched shall comeH935 upon him. 23It shall beH1961 that, to fillH4390 his bellyH990, he will cast his fierce angerH639 upon him, and will rainH4305 it upon him into his flesh. 24If he have fledH1272 from the ironH1270 weaponH5402, the bowH7198 of brass shall strike him through. 25He draweth it forthH3318; it cometh out of his body, and the glittering point out of his gall: terrorsH367 are upon him. 26All darknessH2822 is laid up for his treasuresH6845: a fireH784 not blown shall devourH398 him; it shall feed upon what is left in his tentH168. 27The heavensH8064 shall revealH1540 his iniquityH5771, and the earthH776 shall riseH6965 up against him. 28The increase of his houseH1004 shall depart, flowing away in the dayH3117 of his angerH639. 29This is the portionH2506 of the wickedH7563 manH120 from 2GodH430, and the heritage appointed to him by 3GodH430.
