mkjv@Job:20:1 @ And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,

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

mkjv@Job:20:3 @ I have heard the rebuke meant to shame me, and the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer.

mkjv@Job:20:4 @ Do you know this from [days] of old, from the setting of man on earth,

mkjv@Job:20:5 @ that the exulting of the wicked [is] short, and the joy of the ungodly [is] for a moment?

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

mkjv@Job:20:7 @ he shall perish forever like his dung; they who see him shall say, Where [is] he?

mkjv@Job:20:8 @ He flies away like a dream, and shall not be found, and shall be chased away like a vision of the night.

mkjv@Job:20:9 @ An eye glimpsed him, but will not again; yea, his place shall not see him again.

mkjv@Job:20:10 @ His sons shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore his wealth.

mkjv@Job:20:11 @ His bones are full of his youthful vigor, but it lies down with him in the dust.

mkjv@Job:20:12 @ Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, [though] he hides it under his tongue;

mkjv@Job:20:13 @ [though] he spares it and will not leave it; yea, keeps it still in his mouth;

mkjv@Job:20:14 @ [yet] his food in his belly shall be turned; the gall of asps [is] within him.

mkjv@Job:20:15 @ He swallows riches, but vomits it; God shall cast them out of his belly.

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

mkjv@Job:20:17 @ He shall not see the rivers, the flowings of the brooks of honey and butter,

mkjv@Job:20:18 @ giving back his gain, and he will not eat. As to the wealth of his trading, even he shall not enjoy [it].

mkjv@Job:20:19 @ For he pressed down [and] forsook the poor; he stole a house, but he had not built it.

mkjv@Job:20:20 @ Surely he shall not know quietness in his belly; he will not escape with the things of desire.

mkjv@Job:20:21 @ None of his food shall be left; therefore his good will not last.

mkjv@Job:20:22 @ In the fullness of his plenty he shall be in trouble; every wretched one shall come on him.

mkjv@Job:20:23 @ It shall happen at the filling of his belly, [God] shall cast the fury of His wrath on him, and He shall rain on him while he is eating.

mkjv@Job:20:24 @ He shall flee from the iron weapon, a bow of bronze shall pierce him.

mkjv@Job:20:25 @ One draws it, and treads it from behind, even lightning from his gall; terror [is] on him.

mkjv@Job:20:26 @ All darkness [shall be] hidden in his secret places; a fire not blown shall consume him; those left in his tent shall be broken.

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

mkjv@Job:20:28 @ The increase of his house shall depart, and shall flow [away] in the day of his wrath.

mkjv@Job:20:29 @ This [is] the portion of a wicked man from God, and the inheritance of his word from God.
