소발

20 그때 나아마 사람 소발이 말하였다.

“네 말을 들으니 마음이 답답해서 너에게 대답하지 않을 수 없구나.

네가 부끄러운 말로 나를 책망하였으니 나도 너에게 할 말이 있다.

4-5 너도 알겠지만 사람이 세상에 처음 나 타난 때부터 악인의 승리는 오래 가지 못했고 경건치 못한 자의 즐거움도 다 순간적이었다.

비록 경건치 못한 자의 교만이 하늘까지 치솟고 그 머리가 구름에까지 닿을지라도

그는 자기 똥처럼 영원히 사라질 것이니 그를 아는 자마다 ‘그가 어디에 있느냐?’ 할 것이다.

그는 꿈같이 지나가 버리고 밤의 환상처럼 사라져 다시 보이지 않을 것이며

그의 친구나 가족도 그를 다시는 보지 못할 것이다.

10 그의 자녀들은 그가 가난한 자들에게서 빼앗은 재물을 되돌려 주어야 할 것이며

11 그는 몸이 건장할지라도 곧 흙으로 돌아갈 것이다.

12-13 그가 악의 맛이 달아서 혀 밑에 감추고 는 뱉어 버리지 못하고 입에 물고 있어도

14 그것이 창자에서 독소로 변해 독사의 독과 같이 될 것이다.

15 그가 남의 재물을 집어삼켜도 그것을 다시 토해낼 수밖에 없는 것은 하나님이 그것을 뱃속에서 다시 나오게 하실 것이기 때문이다.

16 악인이 삼키는 것은 독사의 독과 같아서 결국 그를 죽이고 만다.

17 그는 젖과 꿀이 흐르는 강을 보지 못할 것이며

18 수고하여 얻은 것도 먹어 보지 못하고 내어주어야 할 것이며 장사하여 모은 돈도 쓰지 못할 것이다.

19 이것은 그가 가난한 자를 돌보지 않고 학대하며 남의 집을 빼앗았기 때문이다.

20 그는 만족할 줄 모르고 언제나 욕심을 내지만 자기가 갖고 싶은 것을 하나도 간직하지 못할 것이며

21 남기는 것 없이 닥치는 대로 먹어치우므로 그가 누리던 번영도 끝장이 나고 말 것이다.

22 “악인은 풍족할 때에도 고통을 당할 것이니 불행이 그에게 밀어닥칠 것이다.

23 그가 자기 배를 채우려 할 때 하나님은 분노의 불을 토해 그에게 비처럼 쏟을 것이다.

24 그가 철로 만든 무기를 피하면 놋화살이 그를 꿰뚫을 것이며

25 그가 몸에서 그 화살을 빼내면 번쩍이는 촉이 그의 쓸개에서 나와 그의 마음이 두려움에 사로잡힐 것이다.

26 아주 캄캄한 어두움이 그의 재물을 삼킬 듯이 기다리며 사람이 피우지 않은 불이 그를 사르고 그 집 안에 남은 것을 삼킬 것이다.

27 하늘이 그의 죄를 드러낼 것이요 땅이 그를 대적하여 증언할 것이며

28 그의 재산은 하나님의 분노의 홍수에 떠내려가고 말 것이다.

29 이것이 바로 하나님이 정해 놓으신 악인들의 운명이다.”

Zophar

20 Then Zophar the Naamathite(A) replied:

“My troubled thoughts prompt me to answer
    because I am greatly disturbed.(B)
I hear a rebuke(C) that dishonors me,
    and my understanding inspires me to reply.

“Surely you know how it has been from of old,(D)
    ever since mankind[a] was placed on the earth,
that the mirth of the wicked(E) is brief,
    the joy of the godless(F) lasts but a moment.(G)
Though the pride(H) of the godless person reaches to the heavens(I)
    and his head touches the clouds,(J)
he will perish forever,(K) like his own dung;
    those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’(L)
Like a dream(M) he flies away,(N) no more to be found,
    banished(O) like a vision of the night.(P)
The eye that saw him will not see him again;
    his place will look on him no more.(Q)
10 His children(R) must make amends to the poor;
    his own hands must give back his wealth.(S)
11 The youthful vigor(T) that fills his bones(U)
    will lie with him in the dust.(V)

12 “Though evil(W) is sweet in his mouth
    and he hides it under his tongue,(X)
13 though he cannot bear to let it go
    and lets it linger in his mouth,(Y)
14 yet his food will turn sour in his stomach;(Z)
    it will become the venom of serpents(AA) within him.
15 He will spit out the riches(AB) he swallowed;
    God will make his stomach vomit(AC) them up.
16 He will suck the poison(AD) of serpents;
    the fangs of an adder will kill him.(AE)
17 He will not enjoy the streams,
    the rivers(AF) flowing with honey(AG) and cream.(AH)
18 What he toiled for he must give back uneaten;(AI)
    he will not enjoy the profit from his trading.(AJ)
19 For he has oppressed the poor(AK) and left them destitute;(AL)
    he has seized houses(AM) he did not build.

20 “Surely he will have no respite from his craving;(AN)
    he cannot save himself by his treasure.(AO)
21 Nothing is left for him to devour;
    his prosperity will not endure.(AP)
22 In the midst of his plenty, distress will overtake him;(AQ)
    the full force of misery will come upon him.(AR)
23 When he has filled his belly,(AS)
    God will vent his burning anger(AT) against him
    and rain down his blows on him.(AU)
24 Though he flees(AV) from an iron weapon,
    a bronze-tipped arrow pierces him.(AW)
25 He pulls it out of his back,
    the gleaming point out of his liver.
Terrors(AX) will come over him;(AY)
26     total darkness(AZ) lies in wait for his treasures.
A fire(BA) unfanned will consume him(BB)
    and devour what is left in his tent.(BC)
27 The heavens will expose his guilt;
    the earth will rise up against him.(BD)
28 A flood will carry off his house,(BE)
    rushing waters[b] on the day of God’s wrath.(BF)
29 Such is the fate God allots the wicked,
    the heritage appointed for them by God.”(BG)

20 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.

I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.

Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,

That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?

Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;

Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?

He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.

The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.

10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.

11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.

12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;

13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:

14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.

15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.

17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.

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 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;

20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.

21 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.

22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.

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 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.

25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.

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 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.

28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
