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

jps@Job:20:2 @ Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, even by reason of mine agitation that is in me.

jps@Job:20:3 @ I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame, but out of my understanding my spirit answereth me.

jps@Job:20:4 @ Knowest thou not this of old time, since man was placed upon earth,

jps@Job:20:5 @ That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?

jps@Job:20:6 @ Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;

jps@Job:20:7 @ Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung; they that have seen him shall say: 'Where is he?'

jps@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.

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

jps@Job:20:10 @ His children shall appease the poor, and his hands shall restore his wealth.

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

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

jps@Job:20:13 @ Though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;

jps@Job:20:14 @ Yet his food in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.

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

jps@Job:20:16 @ He shall suck the poison of asps; the viper's tongue shall slay him.

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

jps@Job:20:18 @ That which he laboured for shall he give back, and shall not swallow it down; according to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.

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

jps@Job:20:20 @ Because he knew no quietness within him, in his greed he suffered nought to escape,

jps@Job:20:21 @ There was nothing left that he devoured not--therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

jps@Job:20:22 @ In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits; the hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.

jps@Job:20:23 @ It shall be for the filling of his belly; He shall cast the fierceness of His wrath upon him, and shall cause it to rain upon him into his flesh.

jps@Job:20:24 @ If he flee from the iron weapon, the bow of brass shall strike him through.

jps@Job:20:25 @ He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body; yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall; terrors are upon him.

jps@Job:20:26 @ All darkness is laid up for his treasures; a fire not blown by man shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tent.

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

jps@Job:20:28 @ The increase of his house shall depart, his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

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