18_JOB_20_01 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, And said,
18_JOB_20_02 therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, And for [ this] I make haste.
18_JOB_20_03 I have heard the check of my reproach, And the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
18_JOB_20_04 knowest thou [ not] this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
18_JOB_20_05 that the triumphing of the wicked [ Is] short, And the joy of the hypocrite [ but] for A moment?
18_JOB_20_06 though his excellency mount up to the heavens, And his head reach unto the clouds;
18_JOB_20_07 [ yet] he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, where [ Is] he?
18_JOB_20_08 he shall fly away as A dream, And shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as A vision of the night.
18_JOB_20_09 the eye also [ which] saw him shall [ see him] no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
18_JOB_20_10 his children shall seek to please the poor, And his hands shall Restore their goods.
18_JOB_20_11 his bones are full [ of the sin] of his youth, which shall Lie down with him in the dust.
18_JOB_20_12 though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, [ though] he hide it under his tongue;
18_JOB_20_13 [ though] he spare it, And forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
18_JOB_20_14 [ yet] his meat in his bowels Is turned, [ it Is] the gall of asps within him.
18_JOB_20_15 he hath swallowed down riches, And he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
18_JOB_20_16 he shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
18_JOB_20_17 he shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey And butter.
18_JOB_20_18 that which he laboured for shall he Restore, And shall not swallow [ it] down: according to [ his] substance [ shall] the restitution [ be], And he shall not Rejoice [ therein].
18_JOB_20_19 because he hath oppressed [ And] hath forsaken the poor; [ because] he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
18_JOB_20_20 surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
18_JOB_20_21 there shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man Look for his goods.
18_JOB_20_22 in the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
18_JOB_20_23 [ when] he Is about to fill his belly, [ God] shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, And shall rain [ it] upon him while he Is eating.
18_JOB_20_24 he shall flee from the iron weapon, [ And] the bow of steel shall strike him through.
18_JOB_20_25 it Is drawn, And cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors [ are] upon him.
18_JOB_20_26 all darkness [ shall be] hid in his secret places: A fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that Is left in his tabernacle.
18_JOB_20_27 the heaven shall reveal his iniquity; And the earth shall rise up against him.
18_JOB_20_28 the increase of his house shall Depart, [ And his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
18_JOB_20_29 this [ Is] the portion of A wicked man from God, And the heritage appointed unto him by God.
