Job 19:29 - Job 20:9
29 Be ye afraid of the sword; for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
Job 20
Intro: Zophar reproacheth the wicked.
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
3 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
4 Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
7 Yet he shall perish forever like his own dung; they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
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 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place anymore behold him.
