Job - Chapter: 20


20:1	Then aunswered Sophar the Naamathite, and saide
20:2	For the same cause do my thoughtes compell me to aunswere, and therefore, make haste
20:3	I haue sufficiently heard the checking of my reproofe, therefore the spirite of myne vnderstanding causeth me to aunswere
20:4	Knowest thou not this of olde, and since God plaged man vpon earth
20:5	That the gladnesse of the vngodlie hath ben short, and that the ioy of hypocrites continued but the twinckling of an eye
20:6	Though he be magnified vp to the heauen, so that his head reacheth vnto the cloudes
20:7	Yet at a turne he perisheth for euer, insomuch that they which haue seene him, shall say, Where is he
20:8	He shall vanishe as a dreame, so that he can no more be founde, and shal passe away as a vision in the night
20:9	So that the eye which sawe him before, shal haue no more sight of him, and his place shall know him no more
20:10	His children shalbe faine to agree with the poore, and his handes shall restore their goodes
20:11	From his youth his bones are full of pleasures, but now shall it lye downe within him in the earth
20:12	When wickednesse was sweete in his mouth, he hyd it vnder his tongue
20:13	That he fauoured, that would he not forsake, but kept it close in his throte
20:14	The bread that he did eate, is turned to the poyson of serpentes within his bodye
20:15	The riches that he deuoured shall he parbreake againe: for God shall drawe them out of his belly
20:16	He shall sucke the gall of serpentes, and the adders tongue shall slay him
20:17	So that he shall no more see the ryuers and brookes of hony and butter
20:18	The thing he hath laboured for, shall he restore, and shall not eate of it: great trauaile shall he make for riches, but he shall not enioy them
20:19	And why? he hath oppressed the poore, and not helped them: houses hath he spoyled, and not builded them
20:20	Because he could not perceaue when his belly was well, through his greedie desire he shall not escape
20:21	There shall none of his meate be left, therefore shall no man loke for his goodes
20:22	When he had plenteousnesse of euery thing, yet was he poore, though he was helped on euery side
20:23	And it shall come to passe, that wherewith he purposed to fill his belly, God shall powre the furie of his wrath theron, and shall cause his indignation to raigne vpon him, and vpon his meate
20:24	He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bowe of steele shall strike him through
20:25	The arowe is taken foorth and gone out of the quiuer, and a glistering sword through the gall of him: so feare shall come vpon him
20:26	All darknesse shalbe hid in their secrete places, an vnkindled fire shal consume him: and loke what remaineth in his house, it shalbe destroyed
20:27	The heauen shal declare his wickednesse, and the earth shall take part against him
20:28	The substaunce that he hath in his house, shalbe taken away and perishe in the day of the Lordes wrath
20:29	This is the portion that the wicked man shal haue of God, and the heritage that he may loke for of God, because of his wordes


20:1	Then answered Zophar the Naamathite and saide,
20:2	Doubtlesse my thoughts cause me to answere, and therefore I make haste.
20:3	I haue heard the correction of my reproch: therefore the spirite of mine vnderstanding causeth me to answere.
20:4	Knowest thou not this of olde? and since God placed man vpon the earth,
20:5	That the reioycing of the wicked is short, and that the ioy of hypocrites is but a moment?
20:6	Though his excellencie mount vp to the heauen, and his head reache vnto the cloudes,
20:7	Yet shall hee perish for euer, like his dung, and they which haue seene him, shall say, Where is hee?
20:8	He shall flee away as a dreame, and they shall not finde him, and shall passe away as a vision of the night,
20:9	So that the eye which had seene him, shall do so no more, and his place shall see him no more.
20:10	His children shall flatter the poore, and his hands shall restore his substance.
20:11	His bones are full of the sinne of his youth, and it shall lie downe with him in the dust.
20:12	When wickednesse was sweete in his mouth, and he hid it vnder his tongue,
20:13	And fauoured it, and would not forsake it, but kept it close in his mouth,
20:14	Then his meat in his bowels was turned: the gall of Aspes was in the middes of him.
20:15	He hath deuoured substance, and hee shall vomit it: for God shall drawe it out of his bellie.
20:16	He shall sucke the gall of Aspes, and the vipers tongue shall slay him.
20:17	He shall not see the riuers, nor the floods and streames of honie and butter.
20:18	He shall restore the labour, and shall deuoure no more: euen according to the substance shalbe his exchange, and he shall enioy it no more.
20:19	For he hath vndone many: he hath forsaken the poore, and hath spoyled houses which he builded not.
20:20	Surely he shall feele no quietnes in his bodie, neither shall he reserue of that which he desired.
20:21	There shall none of his meate bee left: therefore none shall hope for his goods.
20:22	When he shalbe filled with his abundance, he shalbe in paine, and the hand of all the wicked shall assaile him.
20:23	He shall be about to fill his belly, but God shall sende vpon him his fierce wrath, and shall cause to rayne vpon him, euen vpon his meate.
20:24	He shall flee from the yron weapons, and the bow of steele shall strike him through.
20:25	The arrowe is drawen out, and commeth forth of the body, and shineth of his gall, so feare commeth vpon him.
20:26	All darkenes shalbe hid in his secret places: the fire that is not blowen, shall deuoure him, and that which remaineth in his tabernacle, shalbe destroyed.
20:27	The heauen shall declare his wickednes, and the earth shall rise vp against him.
20:28	The increase of his house shall go away: it shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
20:29	This is the portion of the wicked man from God, and the heritage that he shall haue of God for his wordes.


20:1	Then answered Sophar the Naamathite, and sayde.
20:2	For the same cause do my thoughtes compell me to answere. And why? my mynde is ready within me.
20:3	I haue sufficiently herde thy checking and reprofe, therfore am I purposed to make answere after myne vnderstandynge.
20:4	Knowest thou not this, namely: that from the begynnyng (euer sence the creacion of man vpon earth)
20:5	the gladnes of the vngodly hath bene shorte, and that the ioye of ypocrites continued but the twyncklynge of an eye?
20:6	Though he be magnified vp to the heauen, so that his head reacheth vnto the cloudes:
20:7	yet at a turne he perisheth for euer. Insomoch that they which haue sene hym, shall saye. Where is he?
20:8	He shall vanysh as a dreame, so that he can no more be founde, and shall passe awaye as a vision in the nyght.
20:9	So that the eye which sawe hym before, shall haue nomore syght of hym, and hys place shall knowe hym nomore.
20:10	Hys chyldren shall be fayne to agree with the poore, and his handes shall restore them their goodes.
20:11	From his youth his bones are full of pleasures, but now shall it lye downe within him in the earth.
20:12	When wyckednesse, was swete in his mouth, he hid it vnder hys tonge.
20:13	That he fauoured, that wolde he not forsake, but kepte it close in his throte.
20:14	The breade that he dyd eate, is turned to the poyson of serpentes, within his body.
20:15	The ryches that he deuoured, shall he perbrake agayne, for God shall drawe them out of his bely,
20:16	he shal sucke the gall of serpentes, and the adders tonge shall slaye hym:
20:17	so that he shall nomore se the ryuers and brokes of hony and butter.
20:18	The thing that other men haue laboured for, shall he restore agayne, and shall not eate it vp. Greate trauayle shall he make for ryches, but he shall not enioye them.
20:19	And why? he hath oppressed the poore, & not helped them: houses hath he spoyled, & not buylded them.
20:20	His bely coulde neuer be fylled, therfore shall he perishe in hys coueteousnesse.
20:21	There shall none of hys meats be left behinde, therfore shall no man loke for hys prosperite.
20:22	Whan he had plenteousnesse of euery thynge, yet was he poore, though he was helped on euery syde.
20:23	For though the wycked haue neuer somoch to fyll his bely, yet God shall sende his wrath vpon him, and cause his indignacyon to raygne ouer him:
20:24	so that yf he fle the yron weapens, he shall be shott wt the stele bowe.
20:25	The arowe is taken forth, and gone out of the quyuer, & a glystering sweard thorowe the gall of him, feare shall come vpon hym.
20:26	There shall no darcknes be able to hyde him An vnkyndled fyre shall consume him, and loke what remayneth in hys house, it shall be destroyed.
20:27	The heauen shall declare hys wyckednesse, and the earth shall take parte agaynst him.
20:28	The substaunce that he hath in hys house, shalbe taken awaye and peryshe in the daye of the Lordes wrath.
20:29	This is the porcyon that the wycked man shall haue of God, and the herytage that he maye loke for of God. because of his wordes.
