19.27 :My reins are consumed within me.
 * If ye say: 'How we will persecute him! '
 * Seeing that the root of the matter is found in me;
 * Be ye afraid of the sword;
 * For wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword,
 * That ye may know there is a judgment.

Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:


 * Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me,
 * Even by reason of mine agitation that is in me.
 * I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame,
 * But out of my understanding my spirit answereth me.


 * Knowest thou not this of old time,
 * Since man was placed upon earth,
 * That the triumphing of the wicked is short,
 * And the joy of the godless 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 that have seen him shall say: 'Where is he?'

 * The viper's tongue shall slay him.
 * He shall not look upon the rivers,
 * The flowing streams of honey and curd.
 * That which he laboured for shall he give back, and shall not swallow it down;
 * According to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.
 * For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor;
 * He hath violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.
 * Because he knew no quietness within him,
 * In his greed he suffered nought to escape,
 * There was nothing left that he devoured not—
 * Therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
 * In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits;
 * The hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.
 * It shall be for the filling of his belly;
 * He shall cast the fierceness of His wrath upon him,
 * And shall cause it to rain upon him into his flesh.
 * If he flee from the iron weapon,
