[1]Then answeredH6030[H8799] ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284, H559and saidH8799 |
| [2]Doubtless my thoughts cause me to answer, and therefore I make haste. |
[2]Therefore do my thoughtsH5587 cause me to answerH7725[H8686], and for this I make hasteH2363.[H8800] |
| [3]I have heard the correction of my reproach: therefore the spirit of mine understanding causeth me to answer. |
[3]I have heardH8085[H8799] the checkH4148 of my reproachH3639, and the spiritH7307 of my understandingH998 causeth me to answerH6030.[H8799] |
| [4]Knowest thou not this of old? And since God placed man upon the earth, |
[4]KnowestH3045[H8804] thou not this of oldH5703, since manH120 was placedH7760[H8800] upon earthH776, |
| [5]That the rejoicing of the wicked is short, and that the joy of hypocrites is but a moment? |
[5]That the triumphingH7445 of the wickedH7563 is shortH7138, and the joyH8057 of the hypocriteH2611 but for a momentH7281? |
| [6]Though his excellency mount up to the heaven, and his head reach unto the clouds, |
[6]Though his excellencyH7863 mount upH5927[H8799] to the heavensH8064, and his headH7218 reachH5060[H8686] unto the cloudsH5645; |
| [7]Yet shall he perish forever, like his dung, and they which have seen him, shall say, Where is he? |
[7]Yet he shall perishH6[H8799] for everH5331 like his own dungH1561: they which have seenH7200[H8802] him shall sayH559[H8799], Where is heH335? |
| [8]He shall flee away as a dream, and they shall not find him, and shall pass away as a vision of the night, |
[8]He shall fly awayH5774[H8799] as a dreamH2472, and shall not be foundH4672[H8799]: yea, he shall be chased awayH5074[H8714] as a visionH2384 of the nightH3915. |
| [9]So that the eye which had seen him, shall do so no more, and his place shall see him no more. |
[9]The eyeH5869 also which sawH7805[H8804] him shall see him no moreH3254[H8686]; neither shall his placeH4725 any more beholdH7789 himH8799. |
| [10]His children shall flatter the poor, and his hands shall restore his substance. |
[10]His childrenH1121 shall seek to pleaseH7521[H8762] the poorH1800, and his handsH3027 shall restoreH7725[H8686] their goodsH202. |
| [11]His bones are full of the sin of his youth, and it shall lie down with him in the dust. |
[11]His bonesH6106 are fullH4390[H8804] of the sin of his youthH5934, which shall lie downH7901[H8799] with him in the dustH6083. |
| [12]When wickedness was sweet in his mouth, and he hid it under his tongue, |
[12]Though wickednessH7451 be sweetH4985[H8686] in his mouthH6310, though he hideH3582[H8686] it under his tongueH3956; |
| [13]And favored it, and would not forsake it, but kept it close in his mouth, |
[13]Though he spareH2550[H8799] it, and forsakeH5800[H8799] it not; but keep it stillH4513[H8799] withinH8432 his mouthH2441: |
| [14]Then his meat in his bowels was turned: the gall of asps was in the midst of him. |
[14]Yet his meatH3899 in his bowelsH4578 is turnedH2015[H8738], it is the gallH4846 of aspsH6620 within himH7130. |
| [15]He hath devoured substance, and he shall vomit it: for God shall draw it out of his belly. |
[15]He hath swallowed downH1104[H8804] richesH2428, and he shall vomit them up againH6958[H8686]: GodH410 shall cast them outH3423[H8686] of his bellyH990. |
| [16]He shall suck the gall of asps, and the viper's tongue shall slay him. |
[16]He shall suckH3243[H8799] the poisonH7219 of aspsH6620: the viper'sH660 tongueH3956 shall slayH2026 himH8799. |
| [17]He shall not see the rivers, nor the floods and streams of honey and butter. |
[17]He shall not seeH7200[H8799] the riversH6390, the floodsH5104, the brooksH5158 of honeyH1706 and butterH2529. |
| [18]He shall restore the labor, and shall devour no more: even according to the substance shall be his exchange, and he shall enjoy it no more. |
[18]That which he labouredH3022 for shall he restoreH7725[H8688], and shall not swallow it downH1104[H8799]: according to his substanceH2428 shall the restitutionH8545 be, and he shall not rejoiceH5965 thereinH8799. |
| [19]For he hath undone many: he hath forsaken the poor, and hath spoiled houses which he builded not. |
[19]Because he hath oppressedH7533[H8765] and hath forsakenH5800[H8804] the poorH1800; because he hath violently taken awayH1497[H8804] an houseH1004 which he buildedH1129 notH8799; |
| [20]Surely he shall feel no quietness in his body, neither shall he reserve of that which he desired. |
[20]Surely he shall not feelH3045[H8804] quietnessH7961 in his bellyH990, he shall not saveH4422[H8762] of that which he desiredH2530.[H8803] |
| [21]There shall none of his meat be left: therefore none shall hope for his goods. |
[21]There shall none of his meatH400 be leftH8300; therefore shall no man lookH2342[H8799] for his goodsH2898. |
| [22]When he shall be filled with his abundance, he shall be in pain , and the hand of all the wicked shall assail him. |
[22]In the fulnessH4390[H8800][H8675][H4390][H8763] of his sufficiencyH5607 he shall be in straitsH3334[H8799]: every handH3027 of the wickedH6001 shall comeH935 upon himH8799. |
| [23]He shall be about to fill his belly, but God shall send upon him his fierce wrath, and shall cause to rain upon him, even upon his meat. |
[23]When he is about to fillH4390[H8763] his bellyH990, God shall castH7971[H8762] the furyH2740 of his wrathH639 upon him, and shall rainH4305[H8686] it upon him while he is eatingH3894. |
| [24]He shall flee from the iron weapons, and the bow of steel shall strike him through. |
[24]He shall fleeH1272[H8799] from the ironH1270 weaponH5402, and the bowH7198 of steelH5154 shall strike him throughH2498.[H8799] |
| [25]The arrow is drawn out, and cometh forth of the body, and shineth of his gall, so fear cometh upon him. |
[25]It is drawnH8025[H8804], and cometh outH3318[H8799] of the bodyH1465; yea, the glittering swordH1300 cometh outH1980[H8799] of his gallH4846: terrors are upon himH367. |
| [26]All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: the fire that is not blown shall devour him, and that which remaineth in his tabernacle, shall be destroyed. |
[26]All darknessH2822 shall be hidH2934[H8803] in his secret placesH6845[H8803]: a fireH784 not blownH5301[H8795] shall consumeH398[H8762] him; it shall go illH3415[H8799] with him that is leftH8300 in his tabernacleH168. |
| [27]The heaven shall declare his wickedness, and the earth shall rise up against him. |
[27]The heavenH8064 shall revealH1540[H8762] his iniquityH5771; and the earthH776 shall rise upH6965 against himH8693. |
| [28]The increase of his house shall go away: it shall flow away in the day of his wrath. |
[28]The increaseH2981 of his houseH1004 shall departH1540[H8799], and his goods shall flow awayH5064[H8737] in the dayH3117 of his wrathH639. |
| [29]This is the portion of the wicked man from God, and the heritage that he shall have of God for his words. |
[29]This is the portionH2506 of a wickedH7563 manH120 from GodH430, and the heritageH5159 appointedH561 unto him by GodH410. |
