1Then Zophar the Naamathite answered ,
2“Therefore my thoughts answer me ,
even by reason of my haste that is in me .
3I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame .
The spirit of my understanding answers me .
4Don’t you know this from old time ,
since man was placed on earth,
5that the triumphing of the wicked is short ,
the joy of the godless but for a moment ?
6Though his height mount up to the heavens ,
and his head reach to the clouds ,
7yet he will perish forever like his own dung .
Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he ?’
8He will fly away as a dream , and will not be found .
Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night .
9The eye which saw him will see him no more ,
neither will his place see him any more .
10His children will seek the favour of the poor .
His hands will give back his wealth.
11His bones are full of his youth ,
but youth will lie down with him in the dust .
12“Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth ,
though he hide it under his tongue ,
13though he spare it , and will not let it go ,
but keep it still within his mouth ,
14yet his food in his bowels is turned .
It is cobra venom within him .
15He has swallowed down riches , and he will vomit them up again .
God will cast them out of his belly.
16He will suck cobra venom .
The viper’s tongue will kill him .
17He will not look at the rivers ,
the flowing streams of honey and butter .
18He will restore that for which he laboured , and will not swallow it down .
He will not rejoice according to the substance that he has gotten.
19For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor .
He has violently taken away a house , and he will not build it up .
20“Because he knew no quietness within him ,
he will not save anything of that in which he delights.
21There was nothing left that he didn’t devour,
therefore his prosperity will not endure .
22In the fullness of his sufficiency , distress will overtake him .
The hand of everyone who is in misery will come on him .
23When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him .
It will rain on him while he is eating .
24He will flee from the iron weapon .
The bronze arrow will strike him through .
25He draws it out , and it comes out of his body .
Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver.
Terrors are on him .
26All darkness is laid up for his treasures .
An unfanned fire will devour him .
It will consume that which is left in his tent.
27The heavens will reveal his iniquity .
The earth will rise up against him .
28The increase of his house will depart .
They will rush away in the day of his wrath.
29This is the portion of a wicked man from God,
the heritage appointed to him by God.”
