Read Bible Book Of Job Chapter 20 In Online
1 - Then Zophar The Naamathite Replied:
2 - "My Troubled Thoughts Prompt Me To Answer Because I Am Greatly Disturbed.
3 - I Hear A Rebuke That Dishonors Me, And My Understanding Inspires Me To Reply.
4 - "Surely You Know How It Has Been From Of Old, Ever Since Man Was Placed On The Earth,
5 - That The Mirth Of The Wicked Is Brief, The Joy Of The Godless Lasts But A Moment.
6 - Though His Pride Reaches To The Heavens And His Head Touches The Clouds,
7 - He Will Perish Forever, Like His Own Dung; Those Who Have Seen Him Will Say, 'Where Is He?'
8 - Like A Dream He Flies Away, No More To Be Found, Banished Like A Vision Of The Night.
9 - The Eye That Saw Him Will Not See Him Again; His Place Will Look On Him No More.
10 - His Children Must Make Amends To The Poor; His Own Hands Must Give Back His Wealth.
11 - The Youthful Vigor That Fills His Bones Will Lie With Him In The Dust.
12 - "Though Evil Is Sweet In His Mouth And He Hides It Under His Tongue,
13 - Though He Cannot Bear To Let It Go And Keeps It In His Mouth,
14 - Yet His Food Will Turn Sour In His Stomach; It Will Become The Venom Of Serpents Within Him.
15 - He Will Spit Out The Riches He Swallowed; God Will Make His Stomach Vomit Them Up.
16 - He Will Suck The Poison Of Serpents; The Fangs Of An Adder Will Kill Him.
17 - He Will Not Enjoy The Streams, The Rivers Flowing With Honey And Cream.
18 - What He Toiled For He Must Give Back Uneaten; He Will Not Enjoy The Profit From His Trading.
19 - For He Has Oppressed The Poor And Left Them Destitute; He Has Seized Houses He Did Not Build.
20 - "Surely He Will Have No Respite From His Craving; He Cannot Save Himself By His Treasure.
21 - Nothing Is Left For Him To Devour; His Prosperity Will Not Endure.
22 - In The Midst Of His Plenty, Distress Will Overtake Him; The Full Force Of Misery Will Come Upon Him.
23 - When He Has Filled His Belly, God Will Vent His Burning Anger Against Him And Rain Down His Blows Upon Him.
24 - Though He Flees From An Iron Weapon, A Bronze-tipped Arrow Pierces Him.
25 - He Pulls It Out Of His Back, The Gleaming Point Out Of His Liver. Terrors Will Come Over Him;
26 - Total Darkness Lies In Wait For His Treasures. A Fire Unfanned Will Consume Him And Devour What Is Left In His Tent.
27 - The Heavens Will Expose His Guilt; The Earth Will Rise Up Against Him.
28 - A Flood Will Carry Off His House, Rushing Waters On The Day Of God's Wrath.
29 - Such Is The Fate God Allots The Wicked, The Heritage Appointed For Them By God."
