< Job 20 >
1 Then Sophar the Minaean answered and said,
And he answered Zophar the Naamathite and he said.
2 I did not suppose that thou wouldest answer thus: neither do ye understand more than I.
Therefore disquieting thoughts my they make respond me and in order to agitate I in me.
3 I will hear my shameful reproach; and the spirit of my understanding answers me.
[the] correction of Insult my I have heard and a spirit from understanding my it answers me.
4 Hast thou [not] known these things of old, from the time that man was set upon the earth?
¿ This do you know from antiquity from when put humankind on earth.
5 But the mirth of the ungodly is a signal downfall, and the joy of transgressors is destruction:
That [the] cry of joy of wicked [people] [is] from near and [the] gladness of [the] godless [is] until a moment.
6 although his gifts should go up to heaven, and his sacrifice reach the clouds.
Though it will go up to the heavens loftiness his and head his to the cloud[s] it will reach.
7 For when he shall seem to be now established, then he shall utterly perish: and they that knew him shall say, Where is he?
Like own dung his to perpetuity he will perish [those who] saw him they will say where [is]? he.
8 Like a dream that has fled away, he shall not be found; and he has fled like a vision of the night.
Like a dream he will fly away and not people will find him and he may be chased away like a vision of [the] night.
9 The eye has looked upon him, but shall not [see him] again; and his place shall no longer perceive him.
An eye it caught sight of him and not it will repeat and not again it will see him place his.
10 Let [his] inferiors destroy his children, and let his hands kindle the fire of sorrow.
Children his they will seek [the] favor of poor [people] and own hands his they will give back wealth his.
11 His bones have been filled with [vigour of] his youth, and it shall lie down with him in the dust.
Bones his they were full (youthful vigor his *Q(K)*) and with him on [the] dust it will lie down.
12 Though evil be sweet in his mouth, [though] he will hide it under his tongue;
Though it is sweet in mouth his evil he hides it under tongue his.
13 though he will not spare it, and will not leave it, but will keep it in the midst of his throat:
He spares it and not he lets loose it and he withholds it in [the] midst of mouth his.
14 yet he shall not at all be able to help himself; the gall of an asp is in his belly.
Food his in inward parts his it is changed venom of cobras in inward part[s] his.
15 [His] wealth unjustly collected shall be vomited up; a messenger [of wrath] shall drag him out of his house.
Wealth he swallows and he has vomited up it from belly his he drives out it God.
16 And let him suck the poison of serpents, and let the serpent's tongue slay him.
[the] poison of Cobras he sucks it slays him [the] tongue of a viper.
17 Let him not see the milk of the pastures, nor the supplies of honey and butter.
May not he look on streams rivers of torrents of honey and curd.
18 He has laboured unprofitably and in vain, [for] wealth of which he shall not taste: [it is] as a lean thing, unfit for food, which he cannot swallow.
[he is] restoring [the] gain And not he swallows [it] according to [the] wealth of trading his not he will rejoice.
19 For he has broken down the houses of many mighty men: and he has plundered an habitation, though he built [it] not.
For he has crushed he has neglected poor [people] a house he has seized and not he had built it.
20 There is no security to his possessions; he shall not be saved by his desire.
For - not he knows quiet in belly his among desired [things] his not he delivers.
21 There is nothing remaining of his provisions; therefore his goods shall not flourish.
There not [is] a survivor to devour he there-fore not it will endure prosperity his.
22 But when he shall seem to be just satisfied, he shall be straitened; and all distress shall come upon him.
When is full sufficiency his it will be distress to him every hand of a sufferer it will come to him.
23 If by any means he would fill his belly, let [God] send upon him the fury of wrath; let him bring a torrent of pains upon him.
May he be - [about] to fill belly his he will send on him [the] burning of anger his and he will send rain on him in bowel[s] his.
24 And he shall by no means escape from the power of the sword; let the brazen bow wound him.
He will flee from a weapon of iron it will cut through him a bow of bronze.
25 And let the arrow pierce through his body; and let the stars be against his dwelling-place: let terrors come upon him.
He will draw [it] out and it came out from [the] back and lightning from gall-bladder his it will come on him terrors.
26 And let all darkness wait for him: a fire that burns not out shall consume him; and let a stranger plague his house.
All darkness [is] hidden for treasured [things] his it will consume him fire [which] not it has been fanned it will be evil a survivor in tent his.
27 And let the heaven reveal his iniquities, and the earth rise up against him.
They will reveal [the] heavens iniquity his and [the] earth [will] rise up to him.
28 Let destruction bring his house to an end; let a day of wrath come upon him.
It will depart [the] produce of house his torrents on [the] day of anger his.
29 This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of his goods [appointed him] by the all-seeing [God].
This - [is the] portion of a person wicked from God and [the] inheritance of decree his from God.
