18_JOB_20_01 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite , And said ,
18_JOB_20_02 therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer , And for [ this ] I make haste .
18_JOB_20_03 I have heard the check of my reproach , And the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer .
18_JOB_20_04 knowest thou [ not ] this of old , since man was placed upon earth ,
18_JOB_20_05 that the triumphing of the wicked [ Is ] short , And the joy of the hypocrite [ but ] for A moment ?
18_JOB_20_06 though his excellency mount up to the heavens , And his head reach unto the clouds ;
18_JOB_20_07 [ yet ] he shall perish for ever like his own dung : they which have seen him shall say , where [ Is ] he ?
18_JOB_20_08 he shall fly away as A dream , And shall not be found : yea , he shall be chased away as A vision of the night .
18_JOB_20_09 the eye also [ which ] saw him shall [ see him ] no more ; neither shall his place any more behold him .
18_JOB_20_10 his children shall seek to please the poor , And his hands shall Restore their goods .
18_JOB_20_11 his bones are full [ of the sin ] of his youth , which shall Lie down with him in the dust .
18_JOB_20_12 though wickedness be sweet in his mouth , [ though ] he hide it under his tongue ;
18_JOB_20_13 [ though ] he spare it , And forsake it not ; but keep it still within his mouth :
18_JOB_20_14 [ yet ] his meat in his bowels Is turned , [ it Is ] the gall of asps within him .
18_JOB_20_15 he hath swallowed down riches , And he shall vomit them up again : God shall cast them out of his belly .
18_JOB_20_16 he shall suck the poison of asps : the viper's tongue shall slay him .
18_JOB_20_17 he shall not see the rivers , the floods , the brooks of honey And butter .
18_JOB_20_18 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 ] .
18_JOB_20_19 because he hath oppressed [ And ] hath forsaken the poor ; [ because ] he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not ;
18_JOB_20_20 surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly , he shall not save of that which he desired .
18_JOB_20_21 there shall none of his meat be left ; therefore shall no man Look for his goods .
18_JOB_20_22 in the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits : every hand of the wicked shall come upon him .
18_JOB_20_23 [ 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 .
18_JOB_20_24 he shall flee from the iron weapon , [ And ] the bow of steel shall strike him through .
18_JOB_20_25 it Is drawn , And cometh out of the body ; yea , the glittering sword cometh out of his gall : terrors [ are ] upon him .
18_JOB_20_26 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 .
18_JOB_20_27 the heaven shall reveal his iniquity ; And the earth shall rise up against him .
18_JOB_20_28 the increase of his house shall Depart , [ And his goods ] shall flow away in the day of his wrath .
18_JOB_20_29 this [ Is ] the portion of A wicked man from God , And the heritage appointed unto him by God .
