Job 20 — GMV

20 Verse 1 Then Zophar the Minaean answered and said, ^{Verse 2} I did not suppose that thou wouldest answer thus: ^{Verse 3} I will hear my shameful reproach; ^{Verse 4} Hast thou not known these things of old, ^{Verse 5} But the mirth of the ungodly is a signal downfall, ^{Verse 6} Although his gifts should go up to heaven, ^{Verse 7} For when he shall seem to be now established, ^{Verse 8} Like a dream that has fled away, he shall not be found; ^{Verse 9} The eye has looked upon him, but shall not see him again; ^{Verse 10} Let his inferiors destroy his children, ^{Verse 11} His bones have been filled with vigor of his youth, ^{Verse 12} Though evil be sweet in his mouth, ^{Verse 13} Though he will not spare it, and will not leave it, ^{Verse 14} Yet he shall not at all be able to help himself; ^{Verse 15} His wealth unjustly collected shall be vomited up; ^{Verse 16} And let him suck the poison of serpents, ^{Verse 17} Let him not see the milk of the pastures, ^{Verse 18} He has labored unprofitably and in vain, for wealth of which he shall not taste: ^{Verse 19} For he has broken down the houses of many mighty men: ^{Verse 20} There is no security to his possessions; ^{Verse 21} There is nothing remaining of his provisions; ^{Verse 22} But when he shall seem to be just satisfied, he shall be straitened; ^{Verse 23} If by any means he would fill his belly, ^{Verse 24} And he shall by no means escape from the power of the sword; ^{Verse 25} And let the arrow pierce through his body; ^{Verse 26} And let all darkness wait for him: ^{Verse 27} And let the heaven reveal his iniquities, ^{Verse 28} Let destruction bring his house to an end; ^{Verse 29} This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord,
