Then answeredH6030 ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284, and saidH559,
Therefore do my thoughtsH5587 cause me to answerH7725, and for this I make hasteH2363. {I make…: Heb. my haste is in me}
I have heardH8085 the checkH4148 of my reproachH3639, and the spiritH7307 of my understandingH998 causeth me to answerH6030.
KnowestH3045 thou not this of oldH5703, since manH120 was placedH7760 upon earthH776,
That the triumphingH7445 of the wickedH7563 is shortH7138, and the joyH8057 of the hypocriteH2611 but for a momentH7281? {short: Heb. from near}
Though his excellencyH7863 mount upH5927 to the heavensH8064, and his headH7218 reachH5060 unto the cloudsH5645; {clouds: Heb. cloud}
Yet he shall perishH6 for everH5331 like his own dungH1561: they which have seenH7200 him shall sayH559, WhereH335 is he?
He shall fly awayH5774 as a dreamH2472, and shall not be foundH4672: yea, he shall be chased awayH5074 as a visionH2384 of the nightH3915.
The eyeH5869 also which sawH7805 him shall see him no moreH3254; neither shall his placeH4725 any more beholdH7789 him.
His childrenH1121 shall seek to pleaseH7521 the poorH1800, and his handsH3027 shall restoreH7725 their goodsH202. {His children…: or, The poor shall oppress his children}
His bonesH6106 are fullH4390 of the sin of his youthH5934, which shall lie downH7901 with him in the dustH6083.
Though wickednessH7451 be sweetH4985 in his mouthH6310, though he hideH3582 it under his tongueH3956;
Though he spareH2550 it, and forsakeH5800 it not; but keep it stillH4513 withinH8432 his mouthH2441: {within…: Heb. in the midst of his palate}
Yet his meatH3899 in his bowelsH4578 is turnedH2015, it is the gallH4846 of aspsH6620 withinH7130 him.
He hath swallowed downH1104 richesH2428, and he shall vomit them up againH6958: GodH410 shall cast them outH3423 of his bellyH990.
He shall suckH3243 the poisonH7219 of aspsH6620: the viper'sH660 tongueH3956 shall slayH2026 him.
He shall not seeH7200 the riversH6390, the floodsH5104, the brooksH5158 of honeyH1706 and butterH2529. {the floods…: or, streaming brooks}
That which he labouredH3022 for shall he restoreH7725, and shall not swallow it downH1104: according to his substanceH2428 shall the restitutionH8545 be, and he shall not rejoiceH5965 therein. {his…: Heb. the substance of his exchange}
Because he hath oppressedH7533 and hath forsakenH5800 the poorH1800; because he hath violently taken awayH1497 an houseH1004 which he buildedH1129 not; {oppressed: Heb. crushed}
Surely he shall not feelH3045 quietnessH7961 in his bellyH990, he shall not saveH4422 of that which he desiredH2530. {feel: Heb. know}
There shall none of his meatH400 be leftH8300; therefore shall no man lookH2342 for his goodsH2898. {none…: or, be none left for his meat}
In the fulnessH4390+H4390 of his sufficiencyH5607 he shall be in straitsH3334: every handH3027 of the wickedH6001 shall comeH935 upon him. {wicked: or, troublesome}
When he is about to fillH4390 his bellyH990, God shall castH7971 the furyH2740 of his wrathH639 upon him, and shall rainH4305 it upon him while he is eatingH3894.
He shall fleeH1272 from the ironH1270 weaponH5402, and the bowH7198 of steelH5154 shall strike him throughH2498.
It is drawnH8025, and cometh outH3318 of the bodyH1465; yea, the glittering swordH1300 cometh outH1980 of his gallH4846: terrorsH367 are upon him.
All darknessH2822 shall be hidH2934 in his secret placesH6845: a fireH784 not blownH5301 shall consumeH398 him; it shall go illH3415 with him that is leftH8300 in his tabernacleH168.
The heavenH8064 shall revealH1540 his iniquityH5771; and the earthH776 shall rise upH6965 against him.
The increaseH2981 of his houseH1004 shall departH1540, and his goods shall flow awayH5064 in the dayH3117 of his wrathH639.
This is the portionH2506 of a wickedH7563 manH120 from GodH430, and the heritageH5159 appointedH561 unto him by GodH410. {appointed…: Heb. of his decree from God}

I have seenH7200 the foolishH191 taking rootH8327: but suddenlyH6597 I cursedH5344 his habitationH5116.
He shall not be richH6238, neither shall his substanceH2428 continueH6965, neither shall he prolongH5186 the perfectionH4512 thereof upon the earthH776.
He shall not departH5493 out of darknessH2822; the flameH7957 shall dry upH3001 his branchesH3127, and by the breathH7307 of his mouthH6310 shall he go awayH5493.
Let not him that is deceivedH8582 trustH539 in vanityH7723: for vanityH7723 shall be his recompenceH8545.
It shall be accomplishedH4390 beforeH3808 his timeH3117, and his branchH3712 shall not be greenH7488. {accomplished: or, cut off}
He shall shake offH2554 his unripe grapeH1154 as the vineH1612, and shall cast offH7993 his flowerH5328 as the oliveH2132.
For the congregationH5712 of hypocritesH2611 shall be desolateH1565, and fireH784 shall consumeH398 the tabernaclesH168 of briberyH7810.
For what is the hopeH8615 of the hypocriteH2611, though he hath gainedH1214, when GodH433 taketh awayH7953 his soulH5315?
Yea, the lightH216 of the wickedH7563 shall be put outH1846, and the sparkH7632 of his fireH784 shall not shineH5050.
NotG3756 every oneG3956 that saithG3004 unto meG3427, LordG2962, LordG2962, shall enterG1525 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772; butG235 he that doethG4160 the willG2307 of myG3450 FatherG3962 which is inG1722 heavenG3772.
The lightH216 shall be darkH2821 in his tabernacleH168, and his candleH5216 shall be put outH1846 with him. {candle: or, lamp}
ButG1161 he that received the seedG4687 intoG1909 stony placesG4075, the sameG3778 isG2076 he that hearethG191 the wordG3056, andG2532 anonG2117 withG3326 joyG5479 receivethG2983 itG846;
This is the portionH2506 of a wickedH7563 manH120 with GodH410, and the heritageH5159 of oppressorsH6184, which they shall receiveH3947 of the AlmightyH7706.
If his childrenH1121 be multipliedH7235, it is forH3926 the swordH2719: and his offspringH6631 shall not be satisfiedH7646 with breadH3899.
Those that remainH8300 of him shall be buriedH6912 in deathH4194: and his widowsH490 shall not weepH1058.
Though he heap upH6651 silverH3701 as the dustH6083, and prepareH3559 raimentH4403 as the clayH2563;
He may prepareH3559 it, but the justH6662 shall put it onH3847, and the innocentH5355 shall divideH2505 the silverH3701.
He buildethH1129 his houseH1004 as a mothH6211, and as a boothH5521 that the keeperH5341 makethH6213.
The richH6223 man shall lie downH7901, but he shall not be gatheredH622: he openethH6491 his eyesH5869, and he is not.
TerrorsH1091 take holdH5381 on him as watersH4325, a tempestH5492 stealeth him awayH1589 in the nightH3915.
The eastH6921 wind carrieth him awayH5375, and he departethH3212: and as a storm hurlethH8175 him out of his placeH4725.
For God shall castH7993 upon him, and not spareH2550: he would fainH1272 fleeH1272 out of his handH3027. {he…: Heb. in fleeing he would flee}
Men shall clapH5606 their handsH3709 at him, and shall hissH8319 him out of his placeH4725.
YetG1161 hath heG2192 notG3756 rootG4491 inG1722 himselfG1438, butG235 durethG2076 for a whileG4340: forG1161 when tribulationG2347 orG2228 persecutionG1375 arisethG1096 becauseG1223 of the wordG3056, by and byG2117 he is offendedG4624. {offended: he relapseth, or, falleth into sin}
The enemyH341 saidH559, I will pursueH7291, I will overtakeH5381, I will divideH2505 the spoilH7998; my lustH5315 shall be satisfiedH4390 upon them; I will drawH7324 my swordH2719, my handH3027 shall destroyH3423 them. {destroy: or, repossess}
ButG1161 letG1381 every manG1538 proveG1381 his ownG1438 workG2041, andG2532 thenG5119 shall he haveG2192 rejoicingG2745 inG1519 himselfG1438 aloneG3441, andG2532 notG3756 inG1519 anotherG2087.
Thou didst blowH5398 with thy windH7307, the seaH3220 coveredH3680 them: they sankH6749 as leadH5777 in the mightyH117 watersH4325.
ButG1161 nowG3568 ye rejoiceG2744 inG1722 yourG5216 boastingsG212: allG3956 suchG5108 rejoicingG2746 isG2076 evilG4190.
But the PhilistinesH6430 tookH270 him, and put outH5365 his eyesH5869, and brought him downH3381 to GazaH5804, and boundH631 him with fetters of brassH5178; and he did grindH2912 in the prisonH631 houseH1004. {put out: Heb. bored out}
Howbeit the hairH8181 of his headH7218 beganH2490 to grow againH6779 afterH834 he was shavenH1548. {after…: or, as when he was shaven}
Then the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 gathered them togetherH622 for to offerH2076 a greatH1419 sacrificeH2077 unto DagonH1712 their godH430, and to rejoiceH8057: for they saidH559, Our godH430 hath deliveredH5414 SamsonH8123 our enemyH341 into our handH3027.
And when the peopleH5971 sawH7200 him, they praisedH1984 their godH430: for they saidH559, Our godH430 hath deliveredH5414 into our handsH3027 our enemyH341, and the destroyerH2717 of our countryH776, which slewH2491 manyH7235 of us. {which…: Heb. and who multiplied our slain}
And it came to pass, when their heartsH3820 were merryH2896, that they saidH559, CallH7121 for SamsonH8123, that he may make us sportH7832. And they calledH7121 for SamsonH8123 out of the prisonH631 houseH1004; and he made themH6440 sportH6711: and they setH5975 him between the pillarsH5982. {them: Heb. before them}
And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto the ladH5288 that heldH2388 him by the handH3027, SufferH3240 me that I may feelH4184+H3237 the pillarsH5982 whereupon the houseH1004 standethH3559, that I may leanH8172 upon them.
Now the houseH1004 was fullH4390 of menH582 and womenH802; and all the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 were there; and there were upon the roofH1406 about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 and womenH802, that beheldH7200 while SamsonH8123 made sportH7832.
And SamsonH8123 calledH7121 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O LordH136 GODH3069, rememberH2142 me, I pray thee, and strengthenH2388 me, I pray thee, only this onceH6471, O GodH430, that I may be at onceH259 avengedH5358+H5359 of the PhilistinesH6430 for my twoH8147 eyesH5869.
And SamsonH8123 took holdH3943 of the twoH8147 middleH8432 pillarsH5982 upon which the houseH1004 stoodH3559, and on which it was borne upH5564, of the oneH259 with his right handH3225, and of the otherH259 with his leftH8040. {on which…: or, he leaned on them}
And SamsonH8123 saidH559, Let me dieH4191+H5315 with the PhilistinesH6430. And he bowedH5186 himself with all his mightH3581; and the houseH1004 fellH5307 upon the lordsH5633, and upon all the peopleH5971 that were therein. So the deadH4191 which he slewH4191 at his deathH4194 were moreH7227 than they which he slewH4191 in his lifeH2416. {me: Heb. my soul}
And HamanH2001 toldH5608 them of the gloryH3519 of his richesH6239, and the multitudeH7230 of his childrenH1121, and all the things wherein the kingH4428 had promotedH1431 him, and how he had advancedH5375 him above the princesH8269 and servantsH5650 of the kingH4428.
HamanH2001 saidH559 moreover, Yea, EstherH635 the queenH4436 did let no man come inH935 with the kingH4428 unto the banquetH4960 that she had preparedH6213 but myself; and to morrowH4279 am I invitedH7121 unto her also with the kingH4428.
So they hangedH8518 HamanH2001 on the gallowsH6086 that he had preparedH3559 for MordecaiH4782. Then was the king'sH4428 wrathH2534 pacifiedH7918.
I have seenH7200 the wickedH7563 in great powerH6184, and spreadingH6168 himself like a greenH7488 bay treeH249. {a green…: or, a green tree that groweth in his own soil}
Yet he passed awayH5674, and, lo, he was not: yea, I soughtH1245 him, but he could not be foundH4672.
Surely thou didst setH7896 them in slippery placesH2513: thou castedst them downH5307 into destructionH4876.
How are they brought into desolationH8047, as in a momentH7281! they are utterlyH5486 consumedH8552 with terrorsH1091.
As a dreamH2472 when one awakethH6974; so, O LordH136, when thou awakestH5782, thou shalt despiseH959 their imageH6754.
