Job 20

The Message Bible MSG

1 Zophar from Naamath again took his turn:

2 "I can't believe what I'm hearing! You've put my teeth on edge, my stomach in a knot.

3 How dare you insult my intelligence like this! Well, here's a piece of my mind!

4 "Don't you even know the basics, how things have been since the earliest days, when Adam and Eve were first placed on earth?

5 The good times of the wicked are short-lived; godless joy is only momentary.

6 The evil might become world famous, strutting at the head of the celebrity parade,

7 But still end up in a pile of dung. Acquaintances look at them with disgust and say, 'What's that?'

8 They fly off like a dream that can't be remembered, like a shadowy illusion that vanishes in the light.

9 Though once notorious public figures, now they're nobodies, unnoticed, whether they come or go.

10 Their children will go begging on skid row, and they'll have to give back their ill-gotten gain.

11 Right in the prime of life, and youthful and vigorous, they'll die.

12 "They savor evil as a delicacy, roll it around on their tongues,

13 Prolong the flavor, a dalliance in decadence - real gourmets of evil!

14 But then they get stomach cramps, a bad case of food poisoning.

15 They gag on all that rich food; God makes them vomit it up.

16 They gorge on evil, make a diet of that poison - a deadly diet - and it kills them.

17 No quiet picnics for them beside gentle streams with fresh-baked bread and cheese, and tall, cool drinks.

18 They spit out their food half-chewed, unable to relax and enjoy anything they've worked for.

19 And why? Because they exploited the poor, took what never belonged to them.

20 "Such God-denying people are never content with what they have or who they are; their greed drives them relentlessly.

21 They plunder everything but they can't hold on to any of it.

22 Just when they think they have it all, disaster strikes; they're served up a plate full of misery.

23 When they've filled their bellies with that, God gives them a taste of his anger, and they get to chew on that for a while.

24 As they run for their lives from one disaster, they run smack into another.

25 They're knocked around from pillar to post, beaten to within an inch of their lives. They're trapped in a house of horrors,

26 and see their loot disappear down a black hole. Their lives are a total loss - not a penny to their name, not so much as a bean.

27 God will strip them of their sin-soaked clothes and hang their dirty laundry out for all to see.

28 Life is a complete wipeout for them, nothing surviving God's wrath.

29 There! That's God's blueprint for the wicked - what they have to look forward to."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 respondens autem Sophar Naamathites dixit

2 idcirco cogitationes meae variae succedunt sibi et mens in diversa rapitur

3 doctrinam qua me arguis audiam et spiritus intellegentiae meae respondebit mihi

4 hoc scio a principio ex quo positus est homo super terram

5 quod laus impiorum brevis sit et gaudium hypocritae ad instar puncti

6 si ascenderit usque ad caelum superbia eius et caput eius nubes tetigerit

7 quasi sterquilinium in fine perdetur et qui eum viderant dicent ubi est

8 velut somnium avolans non invenietur transiet sicut visio nocturna

9 oculus qui eum viderat non videbit neque ultra intuebitur eum locus suus

10 filii eius adterentur egestate et manus illius reddent ei dolorem suum

11 ossa eius implebuntur vitiis adulescentiae eius et cum eo in pulverem dormient

12 cum enim dulce fuerit in ore eius malum abscondet illud sub lingua sua

13 parcet illi et non derelinquet illud et celabit in gutture suo

14 panis eius in utero illius vertetur in fel aspidum intrinsecus

15 divitias quas devoravit evomet et de ventre illius extrahet eas Deus

16 caput aspidum suget occidet eum lingua viperae

17 non videat rivulos fluminis torrentes mellis et butyri

18 luet quae fecit omnia nec tamen consumetur iuxta multitudinem adinventionum suarum sic et sustinebit

19 quoniam confringens nudavit pauperes domum rapuit et non aedificavit eam

20 nec est satiatus venter eius et cum habuerit quae cupierat possidere non poterit

21 non remansit de cibo eius et propterea nihil permanebit de bonis eius

22 cum satiatus fuerit artabitur aestuabit et omnis dolor inruet in eum

23 utinam impleatur venter eius ut emittat in eum iram furoris sui et pluat super illum bellum suum

24 fugiet arma ferrea et inruet in arcum aereum

25 eductus et egrediens de vagina sua et fulgurans in amaritudine sua vadent et venient super eum horribiles

26 omnes tenebrae absconditae sunt in occultis eius devorabit eum ignis qui non succenditur adfligetur relictus in tabernaculo suo

27 revelabunt caeli iniquitatem eius et terra consurget adversus eum

28 apertum erit germen domus illius detrahetur in die furoris Dei

29 haec est pars hominis impii a Deo et hereditas verborum eius a Domino
