* Then answered Zophar the Naamathite Na #amathiy #, and said , * Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer , and for this I make haste . * I have heard the check of my reproach , and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer . * Knowest thou not this of old , since man was placed upon earth , * That the triumphing of the wicked is short , and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment ? * Though his excellency mount up to the heavens , and his head reach unto the clouds ; * Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung : they which have seen him shall say , Where is he ? * He shall fly away as a dream , and shall not be found : yea , he shall be chased away as a vision of the night . * The eye also which saw him shall see him no more ; neither shall his place any more behold him . * His children shall seek to please the poor , and his hands shall restore their goods . * His bones are full of the sin of his youth , which shall lie down with him in the dust . * Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth , though he hide it under his tongue ; * Though he spare it , and forsake it not ; but keep it still within his mouth : * Yet his meat in his bowels is turned , it is the gall of asps within him . * He hath swallowed down riches , and he shall vomit them up again : God shall cast them out of his belly . * He shall suck the poison of asps : the vipers #eph #eh # tongue shall slay him . * He shall not see the rivers , the floods , the brooks of honey and butter chem #ah #. * That which he laboured for shall he restore , and shall not swallow it down : according to his substance shall the restitution be , and he shall not rejoice therein . * Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor ; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not ; * Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly , he shall not save of that which he desired . * There shall none of his meat be left ; therefore shall no man look for his goods . * In the fulness (8675 ) of his sufficiency he shall be in straits : every hand of the wicked shall come upon him . * When he is about to fill his belly , God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him , and shall rain it upon him while he is eating . * He shall flee from the iron weapon , and the bow of steel shall strike him through . * It is drawn , and cometh out of the body ; yea , the glittering sword cometh out of his gall : terrors are upon him . * All darkness shall be hid in his secret places : a fire not blown shall consume him ; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle . * The heaven shall reveal his iniquity ; and the earth shall rise up against him . * The increase of his house shall depart , and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath . * This is the portion of a wicked man from God , and the heritage appointed unto him by God .
