Job 20

New International Version NIV

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 mankind 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 the pride of the godless person 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 lets it linger 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 on 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.”

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
