STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 וַיַּעַן צֹפַר הַנַּעֲמָתִי וַיֹּאמַר	1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2 לָכֵן שְׂעִפַּי יְשִׁיבוּנִי וּבַעֲבוּר חוּשִׁי בִי	2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
3 מוּסַר כְּלִמָּתִי אֶשְׁמָע וְרוּחַ מִבִּינָתִי יַעֲנֵנִי	3 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
4 הֲזֹאת יָדַעְתָּ מִנִּי־עַד מִנִּי שִׂים אָדָם עֲלֵי־אָרֶץ	4 Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
5 כִּי רִנְנַת רְשָׁעִים מִקָּרֹוב וְשִׂמְחַת חָנֵף עֲדֵי־רָגַע	5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
6 אִם־יַעֲלֶה לַשָּׁמַיִם שִׂיאֹו וְרֹאשֹׁו לָעָב יַגִּיעַ	6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
7 כְּגֶלֲלֹו לָנֶצַח יֹאבֵד רֹאָיו יֹאמְרוּ אַיֹּו	7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
8 כַּחֲלֹום יָעוּף וְלֹא יִמְצָאוּהוּ וְיֻדַּד כְּחֶזְיֹון לָיְלָה	8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
9 עַיִן זָפַתּוּ וְלֹא תֹוסִיף וְלֹא־עֹוד תְּשׁוּרֶנּוּ מְקֹומֹו	9 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
10 בָּנָיו יְרַצּוּ דַלִּים וְיָדָיו תָּשֵׁבְנָה אֹונֹו	10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
11 עַצְמֹותָיו מָלְאוּ [עֲלוּמֹו כ] (עֲלוּמָיו ק) וְעִמֹּו עַל־עָפָר תִּשְׁכָּב	11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
12 אִם־תַּמְתִּיק בְּפִיו רָעָה יַכְחִידֶנָּה תַּחַת לְשֹׁונֹו	12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
13 יַחְמֹל עָלֶיהָ וְלֹא יַעַזְבֶנָּה וְיִמְנָעֶנָּה בְּתֹוךְ חִכֹּו	13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
14 לַחְמֹו בְּמֵעָיו נֶהְפָּךְ מְרֹורַת פְּתָנִים בְּקִרְבֹּו	14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
15 חַיִל בָּלַע וַיְקִאֶנּוּ מִבִּטְנֹו יֹורִשֶׁנּוּ אֵל	15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
16 רֹאשׁ־פְּתָנִים יִינָק תַּהַרְגֵהוּ לְשֹׁון אֶפְעֶה	16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
17 אַל־יֵרֶא בִפְלַגֹּות נַהֲרֵי נַחֲלֵי דְּבַשׁ וְחֶמְאָה	17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
18 מֵשִׁיב יָגָע וְלֹא יִבְלָע כְּחֵיל תְּמוּרָתֹו וְלֹא יַעֲלֹס	18 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
19 כִּי־רִצַּץ עָזַב דַּלִּים בַּיִת גָּזַל וְלֹא יִבֶנֵהוּ	19 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
20 כִּי ׀ לֹא־יָדַע שָׁלֵו בְּבִטְנֹו בַּחֲמוּדֹו לֹא יְמַלֵּט	20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
21 אֵין־שָׂרִיד לְאָכְלֹו עַל־כֵּן לֹא־יָחִיל טוּבֹו	21 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
22 בִּמְלֹאות פְקֹו יֵצֶר לֹו כָּל־יַד עָמֵל תְּבֹואֶנּוּ	22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
23 יְהִי ׀ לְמַלֵּא בִטְנֹו יְשַׁלַּח־בֹּו חֲרֹון אַפֹּו וְיַמְטֵר עָלֵימֹו בִּלְחוּמֹו	23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
24 יִבְרַח מִנֵּשֶׁק בַּרְזֶל תַּחְלְפֵהוּ קֶשֶׁת נְחוּשָׁה	24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
25 שָׁלַף וַיֵּצֵא מִגֵּוָה וּבָרָק מִמְּרֹרָתֹו יַהֲלֹךְ עָלָיו אֵמִים	25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
26 כָּל־חֹשֶׁךְ טָמוּן לִצְפּוּנָיו תְּאָכְלֵהוּ אֵשׁ לֹא־נֻפָּח יֵרַע שָׂרִיד בְּאָהֳלֹו	26 All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
27 יְגַלּוּ שָׁמַיִם עֲוֹנֹו וְאֶרֶץ מִתְקֹומָמָה לֹו	27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
28 יִגֶל יְבוּל בֵּיתֹו נִגָּרֹות בְּיֹום אַפֹּו	28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
29 זֶה ׀ חֵלֶק־אָדָם רָשָׁע מֵאֱלֹהִים וְנַחֲלַת אִמְרֹו מֵאֵל׃ פ	29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
