Chapter 20
Then
answered
Zophar
the
Naamathite,
and
said,
2
Therefore
do
my
thoughts
cause
me
to
answer,
and
for
this
I
make
haste.
3
I
have
heard
the
check
of
my
reproach,
and
the
spirit
of
my
understanding
causeth
me
to
answer.
4
Knowest
thou
not
this
of
old,
since
man
was
placed
upon
earth,
5
That
the
triumphing
of
the
wicked
is
short,
and
the
joy
of
the
hypocrite
but
for
a
moment?
6
Though
his
excellency
mount
up
to
the
heavens,
and
his
head
reach
unto
the
clouds;
7
Yet
he
shall
perish
for
ever
like
his
own
dung:
they
which
have
seen
him
shall
say,
Where
is
he?
8
He
shall
fly
away
as
a
dream,
and
shall
not
be
found:
yea,
he
shall
be
chased
away
as
a
vision
of
the
night.
9
The
eye
also
which
saw
him
shall
see
him
no
more;
neither
shall
his
place
any
more
behold
him.
10
His
children
shall
seek
to
please
the
poor,
and
his
hands
shall
restore
their
goods.
11
His
bones
are
full
of
the
sin
of
his
youth,
which
shall
lie
down
with
him
in
the
dust.
12
Though
wickedness
be
sweet
in
his
mouth,
though
he
hide
it
under
his
tongue;
13
Though
he
spare
it,
and
forsake
it
not;
but
keep
it
still
within
his
mouth:
14
Yet
his
meat
in
his
bowels
is
turned,
it
is
the
gall
of
asps
within
him.
15
He
hath
swallowed
down
riches,
and
he
shall
vomit
them
up
again:
God
shall
cast
them
out
of
his
belly.
16
He
shall
suck
the
poison
of
asps:
the
viper’s
tongue
shall
slay
him.
17
He
shall
not
see
the
rivers,
the
floods,
the
brooks
of
honey
and
butter.
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.
19
Because
he
hath
oppressed
and
hath
forsaken
the
poor;
because
he
hath
violently
taken
away
an
house
which
he
builded
not;
20
Surely
he
shall
not
feel
quietness
in
his
belly,
he
shall
not
save
of
that
which
he
desired.
21
There
shall
none
of
his
meat
be
left;
therefore
shall
no
man
look
for
his
goods.
22
In
the
fulness
of
his
sufficiency
he
shall
be
in
straits:
every
hand
of
the
wicked
shall
come
upon
him.
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.
24
He
shall
flee
from
the
iron
weapon,
and
the
bow
of
steel
shall
strike
him
through.
25
It
is
drawn,
and
cometh
out
of
the
body;
yea,
the
glittering
sword
cometh
out
of
his
gall:
terrors
are
upon
him.
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.
27
The
heaven
shall
reveal
his
iniquity;
and
the
earth
shall
rise
up
against
him.
28
The
increase
of
his
house
shall
depart,
and
his
goods
shall
flow
away
in
the
day
of
his
wrath.
29
This
is
the
portion
of
a
wicked
man
from
God,
and
the
heritage
appointed
unto
him
by
God.
