20 拿玛琐法回答说:
“这样,我的思念叫我回答,
因为我心中急躁。
我听见那羞辱我的责备;
我悟性的灵回答我。
你岂不知道吗?亘古以来,
自从人被安置在地,
恶人欢乐的声音是暂时的,
不敬虔人的喜乐不过是转眼之间。
他的尊荣虽达到天上,
头虽顶到云中,
他必永远灭亡,像自己的粪一样。
看见他的人要说:‘他在哪里呢?’
他必如梦飞去,不再寻见;
他被赶走,如夜间的异象。
亲眼见过他的,必不再见他;
他自己的地方也不再见到他。
10 他的儿女要向穷人求恩;
他的手要赔还钱财。
11 他的骨头虽然满有年轻的活力,
却要和他一同躺卧在尘土之中。

12 “他口中以恶为甘甜,
把恶藏在舌头底下,
13 爱恋不舍,
含在口中。
14 他的食物在肚里却要翻转,
在他里面成为虺蛇的毒液。
15 他吞了财宝,还要吐出;
 神要从他腹中掏出来。
16 他必吸饮虺蛇的毒汁,
毒蛇的舌头必杀他。
17 他不再看见溪流,
流奶与蜜之河。
18 他劳碌得来的要赔还,不得吞下;
赚取了财货,也不得欢乐。
19 他欺压穷人,弃之不顾,
强取非自己所盖的房屋[a]

20 “他的肚腹不知安逸,
所贪恋的连一样也不放过,
21 剩余的没有一样他不吞吃,
所以他的福乐不能长久。
22 他在满足有余的时候,必有困苦临到;
凡受苦楚之人的手必加在他身上。
23 他的肚腹正要满足的时候,
 神必将猛烈的愤怒降在他身上;
他正在吃饭的时候,
 神要将这愤怒如雨降在他身上。
24 他要躲避铁的武器,
铜弓要将他射透。
25 箭一抽,就从他背上出来,
发亮的箭头从他胆中出来;
有惊惶临到他身上。
26 他的财宝隐藏在深沉的黑暗里;
有非人吹起的火要把他吞灭,
把他帐棚中所剩下的烧毁。
27 天要显明他的罪孽,
地要兴起去攻击他。
28 他家里出产的必消失,
在 神愤怒的日子被冲走。
29 这是恶人从 神所得的份,
是 神为他所定的产业。”

  1. 20.19 “强取…房屋”或译“强取房屋不得再建造”。

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.
