Zophar Speaks: The Wicked Will Suffer

|Jó 20:1| Then ^a Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:

|Jó 20:2| “Therefore my ^b thoughts answer me, because of my haste within me.

|Jó 20:3| I hear censure that insults me, and out of my understanding a spirit answers me.

|Jó 20:4| Do you not know this from of old, ^c since man was placed on earth,

|Jó 20:5| ^d that the exulting of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?

|Jó 20:6| ^e Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,

|Jó 20:7| he will perish forever like his own ^f dung; those who have seen him will say, ^g ‘Where is he?’

|Jó 20:8| He will fly away like ^h a dream and not be found; he will be chased away like a vision of the night.

|Jó 20:9| ⁱ The eye that saw him will see him no more, nor will his place any more behold him.

|Jó 20:10| His children will seek the favor of the poor, and his hands will ^j give back his wealth.
