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

nkjv@Job:20:2 @ "Therefore my anxious thoughts make me answer, Because of the turmoil within me.

nkjv@Job:20:3 @ I have heard the rebuke that reproaches me, And the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer.

nkjv@Job:20:4 @ "Do you not know this of old, Since man was placed on earth,

nkjv@Job:20:5 @ That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment?

nkjv@Job:20:6 @ Though his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens, And his head reaches to the clouds,

nkjv@Job:20:7 @ Yet he will perish forever like his own refuse; Those who have seen him will say, "Where is he?'

nkjv@Job:20:8 @ He will fly away like a dream, and not be found; Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.

nkjv@Job:20:9 @ The eye that saw him will see him no more, Nor will his place behold him anymore.

nkjv@Job:20:10 @ His children will seek the favor of the poor, And his hands will restore his wealth.

nkjv@Job:20:11 @ His bones are full of his youthful vigor, But it will lie down with him in the dust.

nkjv@Job:20:12 @ "Though evil is sweet in his mouth, And he hides it under his tongue,

nkjv@Job:20:13 @ Though he spares it and does not forsake it, But still keeps it in his mouth,

nkjv@Job:20:14 @ Yet his food in his stomach turns sour; It becomes cobra venom within him.

nkjv@Job:20:15 @ He swallows down riches And vomits them up again; God casts them out of his belly.

nkjv@Job:20:16 @ He will suck the poison of cobras; The viper's tongue will slay him.

nkjv@Job:20:17 @ He will not see the streams, The rivers flowing with honey and cream.

nkjv@Job:20:18 @ He will restore that for which he labored, And will not swallow it down; From the proceeds of business He will get no enjoyment.

nkjv@Job:20:19 @ For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor, He has violently seized a house which he did not build.

nkjv@Job:20:20 @ "Because he knows no quietness in his heart, He will not save anything he desires.

nkjv@Job:20:21 @ Nothing is left for him to eat; Therefore his well-being will not last.

nkjv@Job:20:22 @ In his self-sufficiency he will be in distress; Every hand of misery will come against him.

nkjv@Job:20:23 @ When he is about to fill his stomach, God will cast on him the fury of His wrath, And will rain it on him while he is eating.

nkjv@Job:20:24 @ He will flee from the iron weapon; A bronze bow will pierce him through.

nkjv@Job:20:25 @ It is drawn, and comes out of the body; Yes, the glittering point comes out of his gall. Terrors come upon him;

nkjv@Job:20:26 @ Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. An unfanned fire will consume him; It shall go ill with him who is left in his tent.

nkjv@Job:20:27 @ The heavens will reveal his iniquity, And the earth will rise up against him.

nkjv@Job:20:28 @ The increase of his house will depart, And his goods will flow away in the day of His wrath.

nkjv@Job:20:29 @ This is the portion from God for a wicked man, The heritage appointed to him by God."
