Job 20:1-29

20:1

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

Zophar
<06691>

the Naamathite
<05284>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

20:2

Therefore do my thoughts
<05587>

cause me to answer
<07725> (8686)_,

and for [this] I make haste
<02363> (8800)_.

{I make...: Heb. my haste is in me}

20:3

I have heard
<08085> (8799)

the check
<04148>

of my reproach
<03639>_,

and the spirit
<07307>

of my understanding
<0998>

causeth me to answer
<06030> (8799)_.

20:4

Knowest
<03045> (8804)

thou [not] this of old
<05703>_,

since man
<0120>

was placed
<07760> (8800)

upon earth
<0776>_,

20:5

That the triumphing
<07445>

of the wicked
<07563>

[is] short
<07138>_,

and the joy
<08057>

of the hypocrite
<02611>

[but] for a moment
<07281>_?

{short: Heb. from near}

20:6

Though his excellency
<07863>

mount up
<05927> (8799)

to the heavens
<08064>_,

and his head
<07218>

reach
<05060> (8686)

unto the clouds
<05645>_;

{clouds: Heb. cloud}

20:7

[Yet] he shall perish
<06> (8799)

for ever
<05331>

like his own dung
<01561>_:

they which have seen
<07200> (8802)

him shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

Where
<0335>

[is] he?

20:8

He shall fly away
<05774> (8799)

as a dream
<02472>_,

and shall not be found
<04672> (8799)_:

yea, he shall be chased away
<05074> (8714)

as a vision
<02384>

of the night
<03915>_.

20:9

The eye
<05869>

also [which] saw
<07805> (8804)

him shall [see him] no more
<03254> (8686)_;

neither shall his place
<04725>

any more behold
<07789> (8799)

him.

20:10

His children
<01121>

shall seek to please
<07521> (8762)

the poor
<01800>_,

and his hands
<03027>

shall restore
<07725> (8686)

their goods
<0202>_.

{His children...: or, The poor shall oppress his children}

20:11

His bones
<06106>

are full
<04390> (8804)

[of the sin] of his youth
<05934>_,

which shall lie down
<07901> (8799)

with him in the dust
<06083>_.

20:12

Though wickedness
<07451>

be sweet
<04985> (8686)

in his mouth
<06310>_,

[though] he hide
<03582> (8686)

it under his tongue
<03956>_;

20:13

[Though] he spare
<02550> (8799)

it, and forsake
<05800> (8799)

it not; but keep it still
<04513> (8799)

within
<08432>

his mouth
<02441>_:

{within...: Heb. in the midst of his palate}

20:14

[Yet] his meat
<03899>

in his bowels
<04578>

is turned
<02015> (8738)_,

[it is] the gall
<04846>

of asps
<06620>

within
<07130>

him.

20:15

He hath swallowed down
<01104> (8804)

riches
<02428>_,

and he shall vomit them up again
<06958> (8686)_:

God
<0410>

shall cast them out
<03423> (8686)

of his belly
<0990>_.

20:16

He shall suck
<03243> (8799)

the poison
<07219>

of asps
<06620>_:

the viper's
<0660>

tongue
<03956>

shall slay
<02026> (8799)

him.

20:17

He shall not see
<07200> (8799)

the rivers
<06390>_,

the floods
<05104>_,

the brooks
<05158>

of honey
<01706>

and butter
<02529>_.

{the floods...: or, streaming brooks}

20:18

That which he laboured
<03022>

for shall he restore
<07725> (8688)_,

and shall not swallow [it] down
<01104> (8799)_:

according to [his] substance
<02428>

[shall] the restitution
<08545>

[be], and he shall not rejoice
<05965> (8799)

[therein]. {his...: Heb. the substance of his exchange}

20:19

Because he hath oppressed
<07533> (8765)

[and] hath forsaken
<05800> (8804)

the poor
<01800>_;

[because] he hath violently taken away
<01497> (8804)

an house
<01004>

which he builded
<01129> (8799)

not; {oppressed: Heb. crushed}

20:20

Surely he shall not feel
<03045> (8804)

quietness
<07961>

in his belly
<0990>_,

he shall not save
<04422> (8762)

of that which he desired
<02530> (8803)_.

{feel: Heb. know}

20:21

There shall none of his meat
<0400>

be left
<08300>_;

therefore shall no man look
<02342> (8799)

for his goods
<02898>_.

{none...: or, be none left for his meat}

20:22

In the fulness
<04390> (8800) (8675) <04390> (8763)

of his sufficiency
<05607>

he shall be in straits
<03334> (8799)_:

every hand
<03027>

of the wicked
<06001>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

upon him. {wicked: or, troublesome}

20:23

[When] he is about to fill
<04390> (8763)

his belly
<0990>_,

[God] shall cast
<07971> (8762)

the fury
<02740>

of his wrath
<0639>

upon him, and shall rain
<04305> (8686)

[it] upon him while he is eating
<03894>_.

20:24

He shall flee
<01272> (8799)

from the iron
<01270>

weapon
<05402>_,

[and] the bow
<07198>

of steel
<05154>

shall strike him through
<02498> (8799)_.

20:25

It is drawn
<08025> (8804)_,

and cometh out
<03318> (8799)

of the body
<01465>_;

yea, the glittering sword
<01300>

cometh out
<01980> (8799)

of his gall
<04846>_:

terrors
<0367>

[are] upon him.

20:26

All darkness
<02822>

[shall be] hid
<02934> (8803)

in his secret places
<06845> (8803)_:

a fire
<0784>

not blown
<05301> (8795)

shall consume
<0398> (8762)

him; it shall go ill
<03415> (8799)

with him that is left
<08300>

in his tabernacle
<0168>_.

20:27

The heaven
<08064>

shall reveal
<01540> (8762)

his iniquity
<05771>_;

and the earth
<0776>

shall rise up
<06965> (8693)

against him.

20:28

The increase
<02981>

of his house
<01004>

shall depart
<01540> (8799)_,

[and his goods] shall flow away
<05064> (8737)

in the day
<03117>

of his wrath
<0639>_.

20:29

This [is] the portion
<02506>

of a wicked
<07563>

man
<0120>

from God
<0430>_,

and the heritage
<05159>

appointed
<0561>

unto him by God
<0410>_.

{appointed...: Heb. of his decree from God}
