1 Then answered 6030 Zophar 6691 the Naamathite 5284, and said 559,
2 Therefore do my thoughts 5587 cause me to answer 7725, and for this I make haste 2363.
3 I have heard 8085 the check 4148 of my reproach 3639, and the spirit 7307 of my understanding 998 causeth me to answer 6030.
4 Knowest 3045 thou not this of old 5703, since man 120 was placed 7760 upon earth 776,
5 That the triumphing 7445 of the wicked 7563 is short 7138, and the joy 8057 of the hypocrite 2611 but for a moment 7281?
6 Though his excellency 7863 mount up 5927 to the heavens 8064, and his head 7218 reach 5060 unto the clouds 5645;
7 Yet he shall perish 6 for ever 5331 like his own dung 1561: they which have seen 7200 him shall say 559, Where 335 is he?
8 He shall fly away 5774 as a dream 2472, and shall not be found 4672: yea, he shall be chased away 5074 as a vision 2384 of the night 3915.
9 The eye 5869 also which saw 7805 him shall see him no more 3254; neither shall his place 4725 any more behold 7789 him.
10 His children 1121 shall seek to please 7521 the poor 1800, and his hands 3027 shall restore 7725 their goods 202.
11 His bones 6106 are full 4390 of the sin of his youth 5934, which shall lie down 7901 with him in the dust 6083.
12 Though wickedness 7451 be sweet 4985 in his mouth 6310, though he hide 3582 it under his tongue 3956;
13 Though he spare 2550 it, and forsake 5800 it not; but keep it still 4513 within 8432 his mouth 2441:
14 Yet his meat 3899 in his bowels 4578 is turned 2015, it is the gall 4846 of asps 6620 within 7130 him.
15 He hath swallowed down 1104 riches 2428, and he shall vomit them up again 6958: God 410 shall cast them out 3423 of his belly 990.
16 He shall suck 3243 the poison 7219 of asps 6620: the viper's 660 tongue 3956 shall slay 2026 him.
17 He shall not see 7200 the rivers 6390, the floods 5104, the brooks 5158 of honey 1706 and butter 2529.
18 That which he laboured 3022 for shall he restore 7725, and shall not swallow it down 1104: according to his substance 2428 shall the restitution 8545 be, and he shall not rejoice 5965 therein.
19 Because he hath oppressed 7533 and hath forsaken 5800 the poor 1800; because he hath violently taken away 1497 an house 1004 which he builded 1129 not;
20 Surely he shall not feel 3045 quietness 7961 in his belly 990, he shall not save 4422 of that which he desired 2530.
21 There shall none of his meat 400 be left 8300; therefore shall no man look 2342 for his goods 2898.
22 In the fulness 4390 4390 of his sufficiency 5607 he shall be in straits 3334: every hand 3027 of the wicked 6001 shall come 935 upon him.
23 When he is about to fill 4390 his belly 990, God shall cast 7971 the fury 2740 of his wrath 639 upon him, and shall rain 4305 it upon him while he is eating 3894.
24 He shall flee 1272 from the iron 1270 weapon 5402, and the bow 7198 of steel 5154 shall strike him through 2498.
25 It is drawn 8025, and cometh out 3318 of the body 1465; yea, the glittering sword 1300 cometh out 1980 of his gall 4846: terrors 367 are upon him.
26 All darkness 2822 shall be hid 2934 in his secret places 6845: a fire 784 not blown 5301 shall consume 398 him; it shall go ill 3415 with him that is left 8300 in his tabernacle 168.
27 The heaven 8064 shall reveal 1540 his iniquity 5771; and the earth 776 shall rise up 6965 against him.
28 The increase 2981 of his house 1004 shall depart 1540, and his goods shall flow away 5064 in the day 3117 of his wrath 639.
29 This is the portion 2506 of a wicked 7563 man 120 from God 430, and the heritage 5159 appointed 561 unto him by God 410.
