Job Chapter 20

Job 20

Second submission of a friend Zophar

1 Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:

2 your senses/faculty of perception should be restored from your division/line of opinon.

3 listen to the instructions of The SPIRIT on your reproach, and respond with understanding. 

4 I know that, Adam was set/put on earth to be forever:

5 Why the shout of joy was from the near-by wicked ones? And why is it that, the joy of the hypocrites will be for a short time?

6 their head (masters) may mount up to the peak and touch the cloud of the sky - 

7 but their ultimate end is to perish like dung because, those who have seen him will say, where is he?

8 his dreams of the night will fly away as he migrates to and fro to find a vision/revelation;

9 his eyes are on the wall of those tanned/sunburnt places, to add to his own place.

10 his sons delight in things from the potency/efforts of the weak-ones even to be turned back into their hands. 

11 while they are lying down, they are replenished with things from the dust of the earth through strong bones of unknown persons.

12 because evil things denied by their mouth are sweet on their tongues, 

13 - and they let things go from inside their mouth, which debar them to show pity. 

14 bitter-things are in the midst of their bowel as though their food has been changed to cobra/adder, 

15 their main-leader (el) vomit things in his belly to swallow down the wealth of inherited from their force/resources. 

16 their tongue is killing  to breast-fed ones, it is like the poisonous-head with venomous thing of adder. 

17 in their estate, we see honey and butter and divisions/sections of river;

18 they will restore things they swallowed down, - while they were idle themselves,- in exchange for the wealth of the exhausted army of people. 

19 the weak ones leave off, building of their houses, bruised and plundered, 

20 and  escape for the sake of tranquility, knowing that they only delight in things for their belly;

21 - the remnants/survivors are rotating foods for the sake of their welfare;

22 they have come to where they are skeptical about their instinct/internal drive to replenish things with their hands and from their toiling, 

23 -they are sent out with anger and fury when it was raining and when they should be replenishing their belly with their dark/baked bread.

24 they have suddenly escaped from their weapons of iron and steel-bow, because things has changed;

25 their body has been pulled out of the terror of lightnings that come forth while walking around in bitterness, 

26 so, those ones who are displeased, can hide in darkness, covering up to blow fire to devour the remnants in their tents;

27 those in heaven will rise up, and reveal their perversity on earth;

28 the crop-yield/produce that is being poured out/flowing to their households will be found out /revealed in the day of wrath;

29 that was the utterances of the MIGHTY ONE over elohim (Ela elohim)  to a wicked man concerning the portion/lot inherited from Adam.
