Job 20




acv@Job:20:1 @ Then Zophar the Naamathite answered, and said,

acv@Job:20:2 @ Therefore my thoughts cause me to answer, even because of my haste that is in me.

acv@Job:20:3 @ I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame, and the spirit of my understanding answers me.

acv@Job:20:4 @ Know thou this of old time, since man was placed upon earth,

acv@Job:20:5 @ that the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the profane but for a moment?

acv@Job:20:6 @ Though his height mounts up to the heavens, and his head reaches to the clouds,

acv@Job:20:7 @ yet he shall perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him shall say, Where is he?

acv@Job:20:8 @ He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found. Yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.

acv@Job:20:9 @ The eye which saw him shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more behold him.

acv@Job:20:10 @ His sons shall seek the favor of the poor, and his hands shall give back his wealth.

acv@Job:20:11 @ His bones are full of his youth, but it shall lie down with him in the dust.

acv@Job:20:12 @ Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue,

acv@Job:20:13 @ though he spares it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth,

acv@Job:20:14 @ yet his food in his bowels is turned. It is the gall of asps within him.

acv@Job:20:15 @ He has swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again. God will cast them out of his belly.

acv@Job:20:16 @ He shall suck the poison of asps. The viper's tongue shall kill him.

acv@Job:20:17 @ He shall not look upon the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter.

acv@Job:20:18 @ That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down. According to the substance that he has gotten, he shall not rejoice.

acv@Job:20:19 @ For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.

acv@Job:20:20 @ Because he knew no quietness within him, he shall not save any of that in which he delights.

acv@Job:20:21 @ There was nothing left that he did not devour, therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

acv@Job:20:22 @ In the fullness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits. The hand of everyone who is in misery shall come upon him.

acv@Job:20:23 @ When he is about to fill his belly, [God] will cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, and will rain it upon him while he is eating.

acv@Job:20:24 @ He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of brass shall strike him through.

acv@Job:20:25 @ He draws it forth, and it comes out of his body, yea, the glittering point comes out of his gall. Terrors are upon him.

acv@Job:20:26 @ All darkness is laid up for his treasures. A fire not blown shall devour him. It shall consume that which is left in his tent.

acv@Job:20:27 @ The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.

acv@Job:20:28 @ The increase of his house shall depart, flowed away in the day of his wrath.

acv@Job:20:29 @ This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed to him by God.
