¹ And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:² So my thoughts cause me to answer, even because of my haste in me.³ I have heard the instruction of my chastisement; and the spirit from my understanding makes me reply.⁴ Do you know this from of old, from the setting of man on earth,⁵ that the exulting of the wicked is near an end , and the joy of the ungodly is for a moment?⁶ Though his height mounts up to the heavens, and his head touches to the clouds,⁷ he shall perish forever like his dung; they who see him shall say, Where is he?⁸ He flies off like a dream, and is not found; and is driven away like a night vision.⁹ An eye glimpsed him, but will not again; yea, his place shall not again see him.

¹⁰ His sons seek the poor's favors; and his hands shall restore his wealth.¹¹ His bones are full of his youthful vigor, but it lies down on the dust with him.¹² Even if evil is sweet in his mouth (he hides it under his tongue,¹³ he spares it, and he will not leave it; yea, he keeps holding it in his mouth);¹⁴ yet his food in his belly shall be turned; the gall of asps is within him.¹⁵ He swallows wealth, but vomits it; God drives it out from his belly.¹⁶ He shall suck the poison of asps; the viper's tongue shall slay him.¹⁷ He shall not see the rivers, the flowings of torrents of honey and curd;¹⁸ giving back his gain, and he will now swallow. In the wealth of his trading he will not enjoy it .¹⁹ For he crushed and forsook the poor; he stole a house, but he had not built it.²⁰ Surely he shall not know ease in his belly; he will not escape with his things of desire.²¹ There is no residue for his eating; because of this, his good will not last.²² In the fullness of his scorn, it is strait for him; the hand of every wretched one shall come upon him.

²³ It shall happen at the filling of his belly, He shall cast on him the fury of His wrath, and He shall rain on him while he is eating.²⁴ He may flee from the iron weapon, a bow of bronze shall pierce him.²⁵ One draws it, and treads it from behind, even lightning from his gall; terrors come upon him.²⁶ All darkness is hidden for secret treasuring; fire not blown shall consume him; those left in his tent shall be broken.²⁷ The heavens shall expose his iniquity; and the earth shall be raising up itself against him.²⁸ The fruit of his house shall move, flowing away in the day of His wrath.²⁹ This is the evil man's portion from God, and the inheritance of his word from God.
