< Job 20 >

1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:
And he answered Zophar the Naamathite and he said.
2 For this do my thoughts lead me to reply, And for this is my ardor within me.
Therefore disquieting thoughts my they make respond me and in order to agitate I in me.
3 I have heard my shameful rebuke; And the spirit, from my understanding, answereth for me.
[the] correction of Insult my I have heard and a spirit from understanding my it answers me.
4 Knowest thou not, that from the days of old, From the time when man was placed upon the earth,
¿ This do you know from antiquity from when put humankind on earth.
5 The triumphing of the wicked hath been short, And the joy of the impious but for a moment?
That [the] cry of joy of wicked [people] [is] from near and [the] gladness of [the] godless [is] until a moment.
6 Though his greatness mount up to the heavens, And his head reach to the clouds,
Though it will go up to the heavens loftiness his and head his to the cloud[s] it will reach.
7 Yet shall he perish for ever, and be mingled with dust; They who saw 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 He shall flee away like a dream, and shall not be found; Yea, he shall disappear like a vision of the nigh.
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 also which saw him shall see him no more, And his dwelling-place shall never more behold him.
An eye it caught sight of him and not it will repeat and not again it will see him place his.
10 His sons shall seek the favor of the poor, And their hands shall give back his wealth.
Children his they will seek [the] favor of poor [people] and own hands his they will give back wealth his.
11 His bones are full of his youth, But they 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 wickedness be sweet in his mouth, Though he hide it under his tongue,
Though it is sweet in mouth his evil he hides it under tongue his.
13 Though he cherish it, and will not part with it, And keep it fast in his mouth,
He spares it and not he lets loose it and he withholds it in [the] midst of mouth his.
14 Yet his meat shall be changed within him, And become to him the poison of asps.
Food his in inward parts his it is changed venom of cobras in inward part[s] his.
15 He hath glutted himself with riches, And he shall throw them up again; Yea, God shall cast them out of his body.
Wealth he swallows and he has vomited up it from belly his he drives out it God.
16 He shall suck the poison of asps; The tongue of the viper shall destroy him.
[the] poison of Cobras he sucks it slays him [the] tongue of a viper.
17 He shall never see the flowing streams, And the rivers of honey and milk.
May not he look on streams rivers of torrents of honey and curd.
18 The fruits of his toil he shall give back, and shall not enjoy them: It is substance to be restored, and he shall not rejoice therein.
[he is] restoring [the] gain And not he swallows [it] according to [the] wealth of trading his not he will rejoice.
19 Because he hath oppressed and abandoned the poor, And seized upon the house which he did not build;
For he has crushed he has neglected poor [people] a house he has seized and not he had built it.
20 Because he knew no rest in his bosom, He shall not save that in which he delighteth.
For - not he knows quiet in belly his among desired [things] his not he delivers.
21 Because nothing escaped his greediness, His prosperity shall not endure.
There not [is] a survivor to devour he there-fore not it will endure prosperity his.
22 In the fulness of his abundance he shall be brought low; Every hand of the wretched 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 He shall, indeed, have wherewith to fill himself: God shall send upon him the fury of his anger, And rain it down upon him for his food.
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 If he fleeth from the iron weapon, The bow of brass shall pierce him through.
He will flee from a weapon of iron it will cut through him a bow of bronze.
25 He draweth the arrow, and it cometh forth from his body; Yea, the glittering steel cometh out of his gall. Terrors are 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 Calamity of every kind is treasured up for him. A fire not blown shall consume him; It shall consume whatever is left in his tent.
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 The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, And the earth shall rise up against him.
They will reveal [the] heavens iniquity his and [the] earth [will] rise up to him.
28 The substance of his house shall disappear; It shall flow away in the day of His wrath.
It will depart [the] produce of house his torrents on [the] day of anger his.
29 Such is the portion of the wicked man from God, And the inheritance appointed for him by the Almighty.
This - [is the] portion of a person wicked from God and [the] inheritance of decree his from God.
