Job - Chapter: 20


20:1	Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
20:2	Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
20:3	I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
20:4	Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
20:5	That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
20:6	Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
20:7	Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
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.
20:9	The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
20:10	His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
20:11	His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
20:12	Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
20:13	Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
20:14	Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
20:15	He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
20:16	He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
20:17	He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
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.
20:19	Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
20:20	Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
20:21	There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
20:22	In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
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.
20:24	He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
20:25	It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
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.
20:27	The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
20:28	The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
20:29	This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.


20:1	ויען צפר הנעמתי ויאמר׃
20:2	לכן שׂעפי ישׁיבוני ובעבור חושׁי׃
20:3	מוסר כלמתי אשׁמע ורוח מבינתי יענני׃
20:4	הזאת ידעת מני עד מני שׂים אדם עלי ארץ׃
20:5	כי רננת רשׁעים מקרוב ושׂמחת חנף עדי רגע׃
20:6	אם יעלה לשׁמים שׂיאו וראשׁו לעב יגיע׃
20:7	כגללו לנצח יאבד ראיו יאמרו איו׃
20:8	כחלום יעוף ולא ימצאוהו וידד כחזיון לילה׃
20:9	עין שׁזפתו ולא תוסיף ולא עוד תשׁורנו מקומו׃
20:10	בניו ירצו דלים וידיו תשׁבנה אונו׃
20:11	עצמותיו מלאו עלומו ועמו על עפר תשׁכב׃
20:12	אם תמתיק בפיו רעה יכחידנה תחת לשׁונו׃
20:13	יחמל עליה ולא יעזבנה וימנענה בתוך חכו׃
20:14	לחמו במעיו נהפך מרורת פתנים בקרבו׃
20:15	חיל בלע ויקאנו מבטנו יורשׁנו אל׃
20:16	ראשׁ פתנים יינק תהרגהו לשׁון אפעה׃
20:17	אל ירא בפלגות נהרי נחלי דבשׁ וחמאה׃
20:18	משׁיב יגע ולא יבלע כחיל תמורתו ולא יעלס׃
20:19	כי רצץ עזב דלים בית גזל ולא יבנהו׃
20:20	כי לא ידע שׁלו בבטנו בחמודו לא ימלט׃
20:21	אין שׂריד לאכלו על כן לא יחיל טובו׃
20:22	במלאות שׂפקו יצר לו כל יד עמל תבואנו׃
20:23	יהי למלא בטנו ישׁלח בו חרון אפו וימטר עלימו בלחומו׃
20:24	יברח מנשׁק ברזל תחלפהו קשׁת נחושׁה׃
20:25	שׁלף ויצא מגוה וברק ממררתו יהלך עליו אמים׃
20:26	כל חשׁך טמון לצפוניו תאכלהו אשׁ לא נפח ירע שׂריד באהלו׃
20:27	יגלו שׁמים עונו וארץ מתקוממה׃
20:28	יגל יבול ביתו נגרות ביום אפו׃
20:29	זה חלק אדם רשׁע מאלהים ונחלת אמרו מאל׃


20:1	And Zophar the Naamathite answereth and saith: --
20:2	Therefore my thoughts cause me to answer, And because of my sensations in me.
20:3	The chastisement of my shame I hear, And the spirit of mine understanding Doth cause me to answer:
20:4	This hast thou known from antiquity? Since the placing of man on earth?
20:5	That the singing of the wicked `is' short, And the joy of the profane for a moment,
20:6	Though his excellency go up to the heavens, And his head against a cloud he strike --
20:7	As his own dung for ever he doth perish, His beholders say: `Where `is' he?'
20:8	As a dream he fleeth, and they find him not, And he is driven away as a vision of the night,
20:9	The eye hath not seen him, and addeth not. And not again doth his place behold him.
20:10	His sons do the poor oppress, And his hands give back his wealth.
20:11	His bones have been full of his youth, And with him on the dust it lieth down.
20:12	Though he doth sweeten evil in his mouth, Doth hide it under his tongue,
20:13	Hath pity on it, and doth not forsake it, And keep it back in the midst of his palate,
20:14	His food in his bowels is turned, The bitterness of asps `is' in his heart.
20:15	Wealth he hath swallowed, and doth vomit it. From his belly God driveth it out.
20:16	Gall of asps he sucketh, Slay him doth the tongue of a viper.
20:17	He looketh not on rivulets, Flowing of brooks of honey and butter.
20:18	He is giving back `what' he laboured for, And doth not consume `it'; As a bulwark `is' his exchange, and he exults not.
20:19	For he oppressed -- he forsook the poor, A house he hath taken violently away, And he doth not build it.
20:20	For he hath not known ease in his belly. With his desirable thing he delivereth not himself.
20:21	There is not a remnant to his food, Therefore his good doth not stay.
20:22	In the fulness of his sufficiency he is straitened. Every perverse hand doth meet him.
20:23	It cometh to pass, at the filling of his belly, He sendeth forth against him The fierceness of His anger, Yea, He raineth on him in his eating.
20:24	He fleeth from an iron weapon, Pass through him doth a bow of brass.
20:25	One hath drawn, And it cometh out from the body, And a glittering weapon from his gall proceedeth. On him `are' terrors.
20:26	All darkness is hid for his treasures, Consume him doth a fire not blown, Broken is the remnant in his tent.
20:27	Reveal do the heavens his iniquity, And earth is raising itself against him.
20:28	Remove doth the increase of his house, Poured forth in a day of His anger.
20:29	This `is' the portion of a wicked man from God. And an inheritance appointed him by God.
