{Job 20:1} Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:2} Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for [this] I make haste. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:3} I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:4} Knowest thou [not] this of old, since man was placed upon earth, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:5} That the triumphing of the wicked [is] short, and the joy of the hypocrite [but] for a moment? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:6} Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:7} [Yet] he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where [is] he? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:8} He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:9} The eye also [which] saw him shall [see him] no more; neither shall his place any more behold him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:10} His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:11} His bones are full [of the sin] of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:12} Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, [though] he hide it under his tongue; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:13} [Though] he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:14} [Yet] his meat in his bowels is turned, [it is] the gall of asps within him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:15} He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:16} He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:17} He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{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. ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:19} Because he hath oppressed [and] hath forsaken the poor; [because] he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:20} Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:21} There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:22} In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:24} He shall flee from the iron weapon, [and] the bow of steel shall strike him through. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:27} The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:28} The increase of his house shall depart, [and his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 20:29} This [is] the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
