Job 20




ylt@Job:20:1 @And Zophar the Naamathite answereth and saith: --

ylt@Job:20:2 @Therefore my thoughts cause me to answer, And because of my sensations in me.

ylt@Job:20:3 @The chastisement of my shame I hear, And the spirit of mine understanding Doth cause me to answer:

ylt@Job:20:4 @This hast thou known from antiquity? Since the placing of man on earth?

ylt@Job:20:5 @That the singing of the wicked [is] short, And the joy of the profane for a moment,

ylt@Job:20:6 @Though his excellency go up to the heavens, And his head against a cloud he strike --

ylt@Job:20:7 @As his own dung for ever he doth perish, His beholders say: 'Where [is] he?'

ylt@Job:20:8 @As a dream he fleeth, and they find him not, And he is driven away as a vision of the night,

ylt@Job:20:9 @The eye hath not seen him, and addeth not. And not again doth his place behold him.

ylt@Job:20:10 @His sons do the poor oppress, And his hands give back his wealth.

ylt@Job:20:11 @His bones have been full of his youth, And with him on the dust it lieth down.

ylt@Job:20:12 @Though he doth sweeten evil in his mouth, Doth hide it under his tongue,

ylt@Job:20:13 @Hath pity on it, and doth not forsake it, And keep it back in the midst of his palate,

ylt@Job:20:14 @His food in his bowels is turned, The bitterness of asps [is] in his heart.

ylt@Job:20:15 @Wealth he hath swallowed, and doth vomit it. From his belly God driveth it out.

ylt@Job:20:16 @Gall of asps he sucketh, Slay him doth the tongue of a viper.

ylt@Job:20:17 @He looketh not on rivulets, Flowing of brooks of honey and butter.

ylt@Job:20:18 @He is giving back [what] he laboured for, And doth not consume [it]; As a bulwark [is] his exchange, and he exults not.

ylt@Job:20:19 @For he oppressed -- he forsook the poor, A house he hath taken violently away, And he doth not build it.

ylt@Job:20:20 @For he hath not known ease in his belly. With his desirable thing he delivereth not himself.

ylt@Job:20:21 @There is not a remnant to his food, Therefore his good doth not stay.

ylt@Job:20:22 @In the fulness of his sufficiency he is straitened. Every perverse hand doth meet him.

ylt@Job:20:23 @It cometh to pass, at the filling of his belly, He sendeth forth against him The fierceness of His anger, Yea, He raineth on him in his eating.

ylt@Job:20:24 @He fleeth from an iron weapon, Pass through him doth a bow of brass.

ylt@Job:20:25 @One hath drawn, And it cometh out from the body, And a glittering weapon from his gall proceedeth. On him [are] terrors.

ylt@Job:20:26 @All darkness is hid for his treasures, Consume him doth a fire not blown, Broken is the remnant in his tent.

ylt@Job:20:27 @Reveal do the heavens his iniquity, And earth is raising itself against him.

ylt@Job:20:28 @Remove doth the increase of his house, Poured forth in a day of His anger.

ylt@Job:20:29 @This [is] the portion of a wicked man from God. And an inheritance appointed him by God.
