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

lesserot@Job:20:2 @ Even therefore do my inmost thoughts give me an answer, and for this reason do I feel a strong excitement within me.

lesserot@Job:20:3 @ Reproof which casteth shame on me must I hear; yet out of my understanding will the spirit give me an answer.

lesserot@Job:20:4 @ Dost thou know this? from the very beginning of things, from the very time when man was placed upon earth it was,

lesserot@Job:20:5 @ That the triumphal shouting of the wicked is ever of but a recent date, and the joy of the hypocrite endureth only for a moment.

lesserot@Job:20:6 @ Though his exaltation should mount up to the heavens, and his head should reach unto the clouds;

lesserot@Job:20:7 @ Yet when he but turneth round will he vanish for ever; those who have seen him will say, Where is he?

lesserot@Job:20:8 @ Like a dream will he fly away, and men will find him no more; yea, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.

lesserot@Job:20:9 @ If an eye have surveyed him, it will not do so again, and it will not behold him any more in his place.

lesserot@Job:20:10 @ His children will suffer oppression from the indigent, and his hands will have to restore his wealth.

lesserot@Job:20:11 @ his bones are full of his youthful vigor; but it will lie down with him in the dust.

lesserot@Job:20:12 @ If the evil be sweet in his mouth, he will conceal it under his tongue;

lesserot@Job:20:13 @ He will cherish it, and not forsake it; and hold it back within his palate;

lesserot@Job:20:14 @ His food is thus changed within his bowels, and becometh the venom of asps within him.

lesserot@Job:20:15 @ The wealth which he hath swallowed, will he have to vomit up again; God will drive it out of his belly.

lesserot@Job:20:16 @ The poison of asps will he have to suck; the vipers tongue will slay him.

lesserot@Job:20:17 @ He shall not look with pleasure on streams, on flowing brooks of honey and cream.

lesserot@Job:20:18 @ He restoreth what he hath labored for, and will not swallow it down; however much he may have obtained by toil, he will not have any joy of it.

lesserot@Job:20:19 @ Because he oppressed and forsook the indigent; because he took violently away a house, shall he not rebuild it;

lesserot@Job:20:20 @ Because he knew not quietness in his bosom, shall he not escape through what is the most precious to him.

lesserot@Job:20:21 @ Nothing was spared from his craving to eat: therefore shall his wealth not prosper.

lesserot@Job:20:22 @ In the fulness of his abundance will distress assail him: every hand of troubled will come against him.

lesserot@Job:20:23 @ In order to fill his belly, will send out against him the fury of his wrath, and will rain it upon him for his eating.

lesserot@Job:20:24 @ If he flee from the iron weapon, the brazen bow will strike him through.

lesserot@Job:20:25 @ He draweth it, and it cometh out of the body; yea, out of his gall the glittering cometh forth: over him come the terrors.

lesserot@Job:20:26 @ Entire darkness is laid by for his treasures: a fire not urged by blowing will consume him; it will destroy any one that is left in his tent.

lesserot@Job:20:27 @ The heavens will lay open his iniquity; and the earth will raise herself up against him.

lesserot@Job:20:28 @ The product of his house will be banished, flowing away on the day of his wrath.

lesserot@Job:20:29 @ This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and his decreed heritage from God.
