Job 20

1Then answeredH559 ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284, and saidH559, 2Therefore do my thoughts giveH7725 answerH7725 to meH7725, evenH3651 by reasonH3651 of my haste that is in meH7725. 3I have heardH8085 the reproofH4148 whichH7307 putteth meH6030 to shameH3639, and the spiritH7307 of my understandingH998 answereth meH6030. 4Knowest thou notH776 this of oldH5703 time, sinceH4480 manH120 was placedH7760 uponH5921 earthH776, 5That the triumphingH7445 of the wickedH7563 is shortH7138, and the joyH8057 of the godlessH2611 but for a momentH7281? 6ThoughH518 his excellency mountH5927 upH5927 to the heavensH8064, and his headH7218 reachH5060 unto the cloudsH5645; 7Yet he shall perishH6 for everH5331 like his own dungH1561: they which have seenH7200 him shall sayH559, WhereH335 is he? 8He shall flyH5774 awayH5074 as a dreamH2472, and shall notH3808 be foundH4672: yea, he shall be chasedH5074 awayH5074 as a visionH2384 of the nightH3915. 9The eyeH5869 whichH5869 sawH7805 him shall seeH5869 him noH3808 moreH5750; neitherH3808 shall his placeH4725 anyH5750 moreH5750 beholdH7789 him. 10His childrenH1121 shall seek the favour of the poorH1800, and his handsH3027 shall giveH7725 backH7725 his wealthH202. 11His bonesH6106 are fullH4390 of his youthH5934, but it shall lieH7901 downH7901 with him in the dustH6083. 12ThoughH518 wickednessH7451 be sweetH4985 in his mouthH6310, thoughH518 he hideH3582 it underH8478 his tongueH3956; 13Though he spareH2550 it, and will notH3808 letH3808 it go, but keepH4513 it still withinH8432 his mouthH2441; 14Yet his meat in his bowelsH4578 is turnedH2015, it is the gall of asps withinH7130 him. 15He hath swallowedH1104 down richesH2428, and he shall vomitH6958 them upH1104 again: GodH410 shall castH3423 them outH3423 of his bellyH990. 16He shall suckH3243 the poisonH7219 of asps: the viper’sH660 tongueH3956 shall slayH2026 him. 17He shall notH408 lookH7200 uponH7200 the riversH5104, the flowing streamsH5104 of honeyH1706 and butterH2529. 18That which he laboured for shall he restoreH7725, and shall notH3808 swallowH1104 it down; according to the substanceH2428 that he hath gotten, he shall notH3808 rejoice. 19For he hath oppressedH7533 and forsaken the poorH1800; he hath violently takenH1497 awayH1497 an houseH1004, and he shall notH3808 buildH1129 it upH1129. 20BecauseH3588 he knewH3045 noH3808 quietness withinH990 him, he shall notH3808 saveH4422 aught of that wherein he delighteth. 21There was nothingH3808 leftH8300 that he devoured notH3808; therefore his prosperityH2898 shall notH3808 endure. 22In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: the handH3027 of everyH3605 one that is in misery shall comeH935 uponH935 him. 23When he is aboutH1961 to fillH4390 his bellyH990, GodH7971 shall castH7971 the fiercenessH2740 of his wrathH639 uponH5921 him, and shall rainH4305 it uponH5921 him whileH1961 he is eatingH3894. 24He shall fleeH1272 from the ironH1270 weaponH5402, and the bowH7198 of brass shall strike him throughH1272. 25He draweth it forthH3318, and it cometh outH3318 of his body: yea, the glitteringH1300 pointH1465 cometh outH3318 of his gall; terrorsH367 are uponH5921 him. 26AllH3605 darknessH2822 is laidH2934 upH6845 for his treasuresH6845: a fireH784 notH3808 blown by manH3605 shall devourH398 him; it shall consumeH398 that whichH784 is leftH8300 in his tentH168. 27The heavensH8064 shall revealH1540 his iniquityH5771, and the earthH776 shall riseH6965 upH6965 against him. 28The increaseH2981 of his houseH1004 shall departH1540, his goods shall flowH5064 awayH1540 in the dayH3117 of his wrathH639. 29This is the portionH2506 of a wickedH7563 manH120 from GodH430, and the heritageH5159 appointed unto him by GodH430.
