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}

For TophetH8613 is ordainedH6186 of oldH865; yea, for the kingH4428 it is preparedH3559; he hath made it deepH6009 and largeH7337: the pileH4071 thereof is fireH784 and muchH7235 woodH6086; the breathH5397 of the LORDH3068, like a streamH5158 of brimstoneH1614, doth kindleH1197 it. {of old: Heb. from yesterday}
