Job 20




dourh@Job:20:1 @ Then Sophar the Naamathite answered, and said:

dourh@Job:20:2 @ Therefore various thoughts succeed one another in me, and my mind is hurried away to different things.

dourh@Job:20:3 @ The doctrine with which thou reprovest me, I will hear, and the spirit of my understanding shall answer for me.

dourh@Job:20:4 @ This I know from the beginning, since man was placed upon the earth,

dourh@Job:20:5 @ that the praise of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment.

dourh@Job:20:6 @ If his pride mount up even to heaven, and his head touch the clouds:

dourh@Job:20:7 @ In the end he shall be destroyed like a dunghill, and they that has seen him shall say: Where is he?

dourh@Job:20:8 @ As a dream that fleeth away he shall not be found, he shall pass as a vision of the night:

dourh@Job:20:9 @ The eyes that had seen him, shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more behold him.

dourh@Job:20:10 @ His children shall be oppressed with want, and his hands shall render him his sorrow.

dourh@Job:20:11 @ His bones shall be filled with the vices of his youth, and they shall sleep with him in the dust.

dourh@Job:20:12 @ For when evil shall be sweet in his mouth, he will hide it under his tongue.

dourh@Job:20:13 @ He will spare it, and not leave it, and will hide it in his throat.

dourh@Job:20:14 @ His bread in his belly shall be turned into the gall of asps within him.

dourh@Job:20:15 @ The riches which he hath swallowed; he shall vomit up, and God shall draw them out of his belly.

dourh@Job:20:16 @ He shall suck the head of asps, and the viper's tongue shall kill him.

dourh@Job:20:17 @ (Let him not see the streams of the river, the brooks of honey and of butter.)

dourh@Job:20:18 @ He shall be punished for all that he did, and yet shall not be consumed: according to the multitude of his devices so also shall he suffer.

dourh@Job:20:19 @ Because he broke in and stripped the poor: he hath violently taken away a house which he did not build.

dourh@Job:20:20 @ And yet his belly was not filled: and when he hath the things he coveted, he shall not be able to possess them.

dourh@Job:20:21 @ There was nothing left of his meat, and therefore nothing shall continue of his goods:

dourh@Job:20:22 @ When he shall be filled, he shall be straitened, he shall burn, and every sorrow shall fall upon him.

dourh@Job:20:23 @ May his belly be filled, that God may send forth the wrath of his indignation upon him, and rain down his war upon him.

dourh@Job:20:24 @ He shall flee from weapons of iron, and shall fall upon a bow of brass.

dourh@Job:20:25 @ The sword is drawn out, and cometh forth from its scabbard, and glittereth in his bitterness: the terrible ones shall go and come upon him.

dourh@Job:20:26 @ All darkness is hid in his secret places: a fire that is not kindled shall devour him, he shall be afflicted when left in his tabernacle.

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

dourh@Job:20:28 @ The offspring of his house shall be exposed, he shall be pulled down in the day of God's wrath.

dourh@Job:20:29 @ This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the inheritance of his doings from the Lord.
