THEN answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013803">2</a>. Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013804">3</a>. I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013805">4</a>. Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013806">5</a>. That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013807">6</a>. Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013808">7</a>. Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013809">8</a>. He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013810">9</a>. The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013811">10</a>. His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013812">11</a>. His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013813">12</a>. Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013814">13</a>. Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013815">14</a>. Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013816">15</a>. He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013817">16</a>. He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013818">17</a>. He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013819">18</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013820">19</a>. Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013821">20</a>. Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013822">21</a>. There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013823">22</a>. In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013824">23</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013825">24</a>. He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013826">25</a>. It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013827">26</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013828">27</a>. The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013829">28</a>. The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013830">29</a>. This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.</li>
