020:001 | Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, |
020:002 | Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste. |
020:003 | I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer. |
020:004 | Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth, |
020:005 | That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment? |
020:006 | Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds; |
020:007 | Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he? |
020:008 | He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. |
020:009 | The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him. |
020:010 | His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods. |
020:011 | His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust. |
020:012 | Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; |
020:013 | Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth: |
020:014 | Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him. |
020:015 | He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly. |
020:016 | He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him. |
020:017 | He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter. |
020:018 | 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. |
020:019 | Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not; |
020:020 | Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired. |
020:021 | There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods. |
020:022 | In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him. |
020:023 | 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. |
020:024 | He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through. |
020:025 | It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him. |
020:026 | 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. |
020:027 | The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him. |
020:028 | The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath. |
020:029 | This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God. |
021:001 | But Job answered and said, |
021:002 | Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations. |
021:003 | Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on. |
021:004 | As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled? |
021:005 | Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth. |
021:006 | Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh. |
021:007 | Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power? |
021:008 | Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. |
021:009 | Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them. |
021:010 | Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. |
021:011 | They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. |
021:012 | They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ. |
021:013 | They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. |
021:014 | Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. |
021:015 | What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? |
021:016 | Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me. |
021:017 | How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger. |
021:018 | They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away. |
021:019 | God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it. |
021:020 | His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty. |
021:021 | For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst? |
021:022 | Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high. |
021:023 | One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. |
021:024 | His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow. |
021:025 | And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure. |
021:026 | They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them. |
021:027 | Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me. |
021:028 | For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked? |
021:029 | Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens, |
021:030 | That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath. |
021:031 | Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done? |
021:032 | Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb. |
021:033 | The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him. |
021:034 | How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood? |
