Job Job, chapter Book of Job, chapter 20
Then answered Tzofar [sparrow] the Na’amti [pleasantness], and said,Job 11:1
Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for [this] I make haste.
I have heard the rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) of my reproach (disgrace; shame), and the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer.
Know youi [not] this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
That the triumphing of the wicked [is] short, and the joy of the hypocrite [but] for a moment?Heb 11:25
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
[Yet] he shall perish forever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where [is] he?1Th 5:3; Psa 37:36
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yes, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.Psa 73:19; Isa 29:7
The eye also [which] saw him shall [see him] no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.Psa 37:10; Psa 103:16
His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.Job 21:19; Job 27:14
His bones are full [of the sin] of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, [though] he hide it under his tongue;Psa 55:21
[Though] he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
[Yet] his meat in his bowels (inward parts; affections) is turned, [it is] the gall (something bitter or poisonous) of asps within him.
He has swallow (to approve, commend, accept)ed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] shall cast them out of his belly.
He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him.
He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow (to approve, commend, accept) [it] down: according to [his] substance [shall] the restitution [be], and he shall not rejoice [in it].Jer 12:13
Because he has oppressed [and] has forsaken the poor; [because] he has violently taken away an house which he built not;Isa 5:8
Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.Pro 10:2; Pro 11:4; Ezk 7:19
There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
In the fullness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
[When] he is about to fill his belly, [God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]] shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain [it] upon him while he is eating.Num 11:33
He shall flee from the iron weapon, [and] the bow of steel shall strike him through.Isa 24:18; Jer 48:44
It is drawn, and comes out of the body; yes, the glittering sword comes out of his gall (something bitter or poisonous): terrors [are] upon him.Psa 7:12; Ezk 21:10
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.Deu 32:22; Jer 15:14; Jer 17:4
The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
The increase of his house shall depart, [and his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
This [is] the portion of a wicked man from God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and the heritage appointed unto him by God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].Job 18:21; Job 27:13
