1: and answeredH6030 ZopharH6691 the Naamathite,H5284 and said,H0559

2: thereforeH3651 my anxious thoughtsH5587 make me answer,H7725 and becauseH5668 of the turmoilH2363

3: The rebukeH4148 that reproaches me,H3639 I have heardH8085 and the spiritH7307 of my understandingH0998 causes me to answer.H6030

4: Do [not] thisH2063 you knowH3045 ofH4480 old,H5703 SinceH4480 was placedH7760 manH0120 onH5921 earth,H0776

5: thatH3588 the triumphingH7445 of the wickedH7563 is short,H7138 and the joyH8057 of the hypocrite isH2611 [but] forH5704 a moment?H7281

6: ThoughH0518 mounts upH5927 to the heavens,H8064 his haughtinessH7863 and his headH7218 to the clouds-H5645 reaches.H5060

7: Like his own refuse-H1561 foreverH5331 [Yet] he will perishH0006 Those who have seen himH7200 will say,H0559 where is he.H0335

8: Like a dream,H2472 He will fly awayH5774 and notH3808 be found-H4672 and Yes he will be chased awayH5074 like a visionH2384 of the night.H3915

9: The eyeH5869 [that] saw himH7805 and noH3808 will [see him] more-H3254 norH3808 anymoreH5750 will behold himH7789 his place.H4725

10: His childrenH1121 will seek the favorH7521 of the poor,H1800 and his handsH3027 will restoreH7725 his wealth.H0202

11: His bonesH6106 are fullH4390 of his youthful vigor,H5934 but with himH5973 inH5921 the dustH6083 it will lie down.H7901

12: ThoughH0518 is sweetH4985 in his mouth,H6310 evilH7451 [And] he hides itH3582 underH8478 his tongue-H3956

13: [Though] he sparesH2550 itH5921 and not-H3808 does forsake itH5800 but keeps it stillH4513 inH8432 his mouth,H2441

14: his foodH3899 in his stomachH4578 [Yet] turns sour,H2015 venomH4846 it becomes cobraH6620 within him.H7130

15: Riches,H2428 He swallows downH1104 and vomits them up again-H6958 of his bellyH0990 casts them outH3423 God.H0410

16: The poisonH7219 of cobras-H6620 He will suckH3243 will slay himH2026 the tongueH3956 of viper.H0660

17: NotH0408 He will seeH7200 the streams,H6390 the rivers,H5104 flowing withH5158 honeyH1706 and cream.H2529

18: He will restore,H7725 that for which he laboredH3022 and notH3808 will swallow [it] down-H1104 from the proceedsH2428 of businessH8545 and noH3808 He will get enjoyment.H5965

19: ForH3588 he has oppressedH7533 [and] forsakenH5800 the poor-H1800 a houseH1004 he has violently seizedH1497 and not-H3808 which He did build.H1129

20: BecauseH3588 noH3808 he knowsH3045 quietnessH7961 in his heart,H0990 anything he desiresH2530 notH3808 He will save.H4422

21: NothingH0369 is left-H8300 for him to eatH0400 thereforeH5921 thusH3651 notH3808 will lastH2342 his well-being.H2898

22: InH4390 his self-sufficiencyH5607 will be in distress-H3334 everyH3605 handH3027 of miseryH6001 will come against him.H0935

23: [when] he isH1961 about to fillH4390 his stomach,H0990 [God] will castH7971 the furyH2740 of His wrathH0639 and will rain [it]H4305 on himH5921 while he is eating.H3894

24: He will fleeH1272 from the weapon,H5402 ironH1270 will pierce him throughH2498 a bowH7198 bronze.H5154

25: It is drawn,H8025 and comes outH3318 of the body-H1465 and Yes the glittering [point]H1300 out of his gall-H4846 comes]H1980 upon himH5921 Terrors [come].H0367

26: TotalH3605 darknessH2822 [is] reservedH2934 for his treasures,H6845 will consume himH0398 An fireH0784 notH3808 unfannedH5301 it shall go illH3415 with him who is leftH8300 in his tent.H0168

27: Will revealH1540 the heavensH8064 his iniquity-H5771 and the earthH0776 will rise upH6965

28: Will depart,H1540 the increaseH2981 of his houseH1004 [And his goods] will flow awayH5064 in the dayH3117 of His wrath.H0639

29: This [is]H2088 the portion forH2506 a manH0120 wickedH7563 from GodH0430 and the heritageH5159 appointed to himH0561 by God.H0410
