1
Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
1
וַ֭יַּעַן
צֹפַ֥ר
הַנַּֽעֲמָתִ֗י
וַיֹּאמַֽר׃
2
“Therefore my anxious thoughts make me answer, Because of the turmoil within me.
2
לָ֭כֵן
שְׂעִפַּ֣י
יְשִׁיב֑וּנִי
וּ֝בַעֲב֗וּר
ח֣וּשִׁי
בִֽי׃
3
I have heard the rebuke that reproaches me, And the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer.
3
מוּסַ֣ר
כְּלִמָּתִ֣י
אֶשְׁמָ֑ע
וְ֝ר֗וּחַ
מִֽבִּינָתִ֥י
יַעֲנֵֽנִי׃
4
“Do you
not
know this of old, Since man was placed on earth,
4
הֲזֹ֣את
יָ֭דַעְתָּ
מִנִּי־
עַ֑ד
מִנִּ֤י
שִׂ֖ים
אָדָ֣ם
עֲלֵי־

5
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the hypocrite is
but
for a moment?
5
כִּ֤י
רִנְנַ֣ת
רְ֭שָׁעִים
מִקָּר֑וֹב

6
Though his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens, And his head reaches to the clouds,
6
אִם־
יַעֲלֶ֣ה
לַשָּׁמַ֣יִם
שִׂיא֑וֹ
וְ֝רֹאשׁ֗וֹ
לָעָ֥ב

7
Yet
he will perish forever like his own refuse; Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
7
כְּֽ֭גֶלֲלוֹ
לָנֶ֣צַח
יֹאבֵ֑ד
רֹ֝אָ֗יו

אַיּֽוֹ׃
8
He will fly away like a dream, and not be found; Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
8
כַּחֲל֣וֹם
יָ֭עוּף
וְלֹ֣א
יִמְצָא֑וּהוּ
וְ֝יֻדַּ֗ד

9
The eye
that
saw him will
see him
no more, Nor will his place behold him anymore.
9

10
His children will seek the favor of the poor, And his hands will restore his wealth.
10
בָּ֭נָיו
יְרַצּ֣וּ
דַלִּ֑ים
וְ֝יָדָ֗יו
תָּשֵׁ֥בְנָה

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

12
“Though evil is sweet in his mouth,
And
he hides it under his tongue,
12
אִם־
תַּמְתִּ֣יק
בְּפִ֣יו
רָעָ֑ה
יַ֝כְחִידֶ֗נָּה

13
Though
he spares it and does not forsake it, But still keeps it in his mouth,
13

וְלֹ֣א
יַֽעַזְבֶ֑נָּה

14
Yet
his food in his stomach turns sour; It becomes cobra venom within him.
14
לַ֭חְמוֹ
בְּמֵעָ֣יו

15
He swallows down riches And vomits them up again; God casts them out of his belly.
15
חַ֣יִל

17
He will not see the streams, The rivers flowing with honey and cream.

18
He will restore that for which he labored, And will not swallow
it
down; From the proceeds of business He will get no enjoyment.
18
מֵשִׁ֣יב
יָ֭גָע
וְלֹ֣א
יִבְלָ֑ע
כְּחֵ֥יל

19
For he has oppressed
and
forsaken the poor, He has violently seized a house which he did not build.
19

20
“Because he knows no quietness in his heart, He will not save anything he desires.
20

21
Nothing is left for him to eat; Therefore his well-being will not last.
21
אֵין־
שָׂרִ֥יד
לְאָכְל֑וֹ
עַל־
כֵּ֝֗ן
לֹא־

22
In his self-sufficiency he will be in distress; Every hand of misery will come against him.
22
בִּמְלֹ֣אות
שִׂ֭פְקוֹ
יֵ֣צֶר
ל֑וֹ
כָּל־
יַ֖ד

23
When
he is about to fill his stomach,
God
will cast on him the fury of His wrath, And will rain
it
on him while he is eating.
23
יְהִ֤י ׀

24
He will flee from the iron weapon; A bronze bow will pierce him through.
24
יִ֭בְרַח

25
It is drawn, and comes out of the body; Yes, the glittering
point comes
out of his gall. Terrors
come
upon him;
25
שָׁלַף֮
וַיֵּצֵ֪א
מִגֵּ֫וָ֥ה
וּ֭בָרָק

26
Total darkness
is
reserved for his treasures. An unfanned fire will consume him; It shall go ill with him who is left in his tent.
26
כָּל־

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

28
The increase of his house will depart,
And his goods
will flow away in the day of His wrath.
28

29
This
is
the portion from God for a wicked man, The heritage appointed to him by God.”
