1 # Then answered <06030> (8799) Zophar <06691> the Naamathite <05284>, and said <0559> (8799),
2 Therefore do my thoughts <05587> cause me to answer <07725> (8686), and for this I make haste <02363> (8800).
3 I have heard <08085> (8799) the check <04148> of my reproach <03639>, and the spirit <07307> of my understanding <0998> causeth me to answer <06030> (8799).
4 Knowest <03045> (8804) thou not this of old <05703>, since man <0120> was placed <07760> (8800) upon earth <0776>,
5 That the triumphing <07445> of the wicked <07563> is short <07138>, and the joy <08057> of the hypocrite <02611> but for a moment <07281>?
6 Though his excellency <07863> mount up <05927> (8799) to the heavens <08064>, and his head <07218> reach <05060> (8686) unto the clouds <05645>;
7 Yet he shall perish <06> (8799) for ever <05331> like his own dung <01561>: they which have seen <07200> (8802) him shall say <0559> (8799), Where <0335> is he?
8 He shall fly away <05774> (8799) as a dream <02472>, and shall not be found <04672> (8799): yea, he shall be chased away <05074> (8714) as a vision <02384> of the night <03915>.
9 The eye <05869> also which saw <07805> (8804) him shall see him no more <03254> (8686); neither shall his place <04725> any more behold <07789> (8799) him.
10 # His children <01121> shall seek to please <07521> (8762) the poor <01800>, and his hands <03027> shall restore <07725> (8686) their goods <0202>.
11 His bones <06106> are full <04390> (8804) of the sin of his youth <05934>, which shall lie down <07901> (8799) with him in the dust <06083>.
12 Though wickedness <07451> be sweet <04985> (8686) in his mouth <06310>, though he hide <03582> (8686) it under his tongue <03956>;
13 Though he spare <02550> (8799) it, and forsake <05800> (8799) it not; but keep it still <04513> (8799) within <08432> his mouth <02441>:
14 Yet his meat <03899> in his bowels <04578> is turned <02015> (8738), it is the gall <04846> of asps <06620> within <07130> him.
15 He hath swallowed down <01104> (8804) riches <02428>, and he shall vomit them up again <06958> (8686): God <0410> shall cast them out <03423> (8686) of his belly <0990>.
16 He shall suck <03243> (8799) the poison <07219> of asps <06620>: the viper's <0660> tongue <03956> shall slay <02026> (8799) him.
17 He shall not see <07200> (8799) the rivers <06390>, the floods <05104>, the brooks <05158> of honey <01706> and butter <02529>.
18 That which he laboured <03022> for shall he restore <07725> (8688), and shall not swallow it down <01104> (8799): according to his substance <02428> shall the restitution <08545> be, and he shall not rejoice <05965> (8799) therein.
19 Because he hath oppressed <07533> (8765) and hath forsaken <05800> (8804) the poor <01800>; because he hath violently taken away <01497> (8804) an house <01004> which he builded <01129> (8799) not;
20 Surely he shall not feel <03045> (8804) quietness <07961> in his belly <0990>, he shall not save <04422> (8762) of that which he desired <02530> (8803).
21 There shall none of his meat <0400> be left <08300>; therefore shall no man look <02342> (8799) for his goods <02898>.
22 In the fulness <04390> (8800) (8675) <04390> (8763) of his sufficiency <05607> he shall be in straits <03334> (8799): every hand <03027> of the wicked <06001> shall come <0935> (8799) upon him.
23 # When he is about to fill <04390> (8763) his belly <0990>, God shall cast <07971> (8762) the fury <02740> of his wrath <0639> upon him, and shall rain <04305> (8686) it upon him while he is eating <03894>.
24 He shall flee <01272> (8799) from the iron <01270> weapon <05402>, and the bow <07198> of steel <05154> shall strike him through <02498> (8799).
25 It is drawn <08025> (8804), and cometh out <03318> (8799) of the body <01465>; yea, the glittering sword <01300> cometh out <01980> (8799) of his gall <04846>: terrors <0367> are upon him.
26 All darkness <02822> shall be hid <02934> (8803) in his secret places <06845> (8803): a fire <0784> not blown <05301> (8795) shall consume <0398> (8762) him; it shall go ill <03415> (8799) with him that is left <08300> in his tabernacle <0168>.
27 The heaven <08064> shall reveal <01540> (8762) his iniquity <05771>; and the earth <0776> shall rise up <06965> (8693) against him.
28 The increase <02981> of his house <01004> shall depart <01540> (8799), and his goods shall flow away <05064> (8737) in the day <03117> of his wrath <0639>.
29 This is the portion <02506> of a wicked <07563> man <0120> from God <0430>, and the heritage <05159> appointed <0561> unto him by God <0410>.
