|Jó 20:1| Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:

|Jó 20:2| “My troubled thoughts prompt me to answer because I am greatly disturbed.

|Jó 20:3| I hear a rebuke that dishonors me, and my understanding inspires me to reply.

|Jó 20:4| “Surely you know how it has been from of old, ever since mankind ³² was placed on the earth,

|Jó 20:5| that the mirth of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.

|Jó 20:6| Though the pride of the godless person reaches to the heavens and his head touches the clouds,

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

|Jó 20:8| Like a dream he flies away, no more to be found, banished like a vision of the night.

|Jó 20:9| The eye that saw him will not see him again; his place will look on him no more.
