Job 20

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

New American Standard Bible NAS

1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,

2 "Therefore my disquieting thoughts make me respond, Even because of my inward agitation.

3 "I listened to the reproof which insults me, And the spirit of my understanding makes me answer.

4 "Do you know this from of old, From the establishment of man on earth,

5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless momentary ?

6 "Though his loftiness reaches the heavens, And his head touches the clouds,

7 He perishes forever like his refuse; Those who have seen him will say, 'Where is he?'

8 "He flies away like a dream, and they cannot find him; Even like a vision of the night he is chased away.

9 "The eye which saw him sees him no longer, And his place no longer beholds him.

10 "His sons favor the poor, And his hands give back his wealth.

11 "His bones are full of his youthful vigor, But it lies down with him in the dust.

12 "Though evil is sweet in his mouth And he hides it under his tongue,

13 Though he desires it and will not let it go, But holds it in his mouth,

14 Yet his food in his stomach is changed To the venom of cobras within him.

15 "He swallows riches, But will vomit them up; God will expel them from his belly.

16 "He sucks the poison of cobras; The viper's tongue slays him.

17 "He does not look at the streams, The rivers flowing with honey and curds.

18 "He returns what he has attained And cannot swallow it; As to the riches of his trading, He cannot even enjoy them.

19 "For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; He has seized a house which he has not built.

20 "Because he knew no quiet within him, He does not retain anything he desires.

21 "Nothing remains for him to devour, Therefore his prosperity does not endure.

22 "In the fullness of his plenty he will be cramped; The hand of everyone who suffers will come against him.

23 "When he fills his belly, God will send His fierce anger on him And will rain it on him while he is eating.

24 "He may flee from the iron weapon, But the bronze bow will pierce him.

25 "It is drawn forth and comes out of his back, Even the glittering point from his gall. Terrors come upon him,

26 Complete darkness is held in reserve for his treasures, And unfanned fire will devour him; It will consume the survivor in his tent.

27 "The heavens will reveal his iniquity, And the earth will rise up against him.

28 "The increase of his house will depart; His possessions will flow away in the day of His anger.

29 "This is the wicked man's portion from God, Even the heritage decreed to him by God."
