ESV

1	Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
2	“Therefore my thoughts answer me, because of my haste within me.
3	I hear censure that insults me, and out of my understanding a spirit answers me.
4	Do you not know this from of old, since man was placed on earth,
5	that the exulting of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
6	Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,
7	he will perish forever like his own dung; those who have seen him will say, 'Where is he?'
8	He will fly away like a dream and not be found; he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
9	The eye that saw him will see him no more, nor will his place any more behold him.
10	His children will seek the favor of the poor, and his hands will give back his wealth.
11	His bones are full of his youthful vigor, but it will lie down with him in the dust.
12	“Though evil is sweet in his mouth, though he hides it under his tongue,
13	though he is loath to let it go and holds it in his mouth,
14	yet his food is turned in his stomach; it is the venom of cobras within him.
15	He swallows down riches and vomits them up again; God casts them out of his belly.
16	He will suck the poison of cobras; the tongue of a viper will kill him.
17	He will not look upon the rivers, the streams flowing with honey and curds.
18	He will give back the fruit of his toil and will not swallow it down; from the profit of his trading he will get no enjoyment.
19	For he has crushed and abandoned the poor; he has seized a house that he did not build.
20	“Because he knew no contentment in his belly, he will not let anything in which he delights escape him.
21	There was nothing left after he had eaten; therefore his prosperity will not endure.
22	In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be in distress; the hand of everyone in misery will come against him.
23	To fill his belly to the full God will send his burning anger against him and rain it upon him into his body.
24	He will flee from an iron weapon; a bronze arrow will strike him through.
25	It is drawn forth and comes out of his body; the glittering point comes out of his gallbladder; terrors come upon him.
26	Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures; a fire not fanned will devour him; what is left in his tent will be consumed.
27	The heavens will reveal his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him.
28	The possessions of his house will be carried away, dragged off in the day of God's wrath.
29	This is the wicked man's portion from God, the heritage decreed for him by God.“

NIV

1	Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
2	“My troubled thoughts prompt me to answer because I am greatly disturbed.
3	I hear a rebuke that dishonors me, and my understanding inspires me to reply.
4	“Surely you know how it has been from of old, ever since man was placed on the earth,
5	that the mirth of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.
6	Though his pride reaches to the heavens and his head touches the clouds,
7	he will perish forever, like his own dung; those who have seen him will say, 'Where is he?'
8	Like a dream he flies away, no more to be found, banished like a vision of the night.
9	The eye that saw him will not see him again; his place will look on him no more.
10	His children must make amends to the poor; his own hands must give back his wealth.
11	The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie with him in the dust.
12	“Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he hides it under his tongue,
13	though he cannot bear to let it go and keeps it in his mouth,
14	yet his food will turn sour in his stomach; it will become the venom of serpents within him.
15	He will spit out the riches he swallowed; God will make his stomach vomit them up.
16	He will suck the poison of serpents; the fangs of an adder will kill him.
17	He will not enjoy the streams, the rivers flowing with honey and cream.
18	What he toiled for he must give back uneaten; he will not enjoy the profit from his trading.
19	For he has oppressed the poor and left them destitute; he has seized houses he did not build.
20	“Surely he will have no respite from his craving; he cannot save himself by his treasure.
21	Nothing is left for him to devour; his prosperity will not endure.
22	In the midst of his plenty, distress will overtake him; the full force of misery will come upon him.
23	When he has filled his belly, God will vent his burning anger against him and rain down his blows upon him.
24	Though he flees from an iron weapon, a bronze-tipped arrow pierces him.
25	He pulls it out of his back, the gleaming point out of his liver. Terrors will come over him;
26	total darkness lies in wait for his treasures. A fire unfanned will consume him and devour what is left in his tent.
27	The heavens will expose his guilt; the earth will rise up against him.
28	A flood will carry off his house, rushing waters on the day of God's wrath.
29	Such is the fate God allots the wicked, the heritage appointed for them by God.“

NLT

1	Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
2	“I must reply because I am greatly disturbed.
3	I've had to endure your insults, but now my spirit prompts me to reply.
4	“Don't you realize that from the beginning of time, ever since people were first placed on the earth,
5	the triumph of the wicked has been short-lived and the joy of the godless has been only temporary?
6	Though the pride of the godless reaches to the heavens and their heads touch the clouds,
7	yet they will vanish forever, thrown away like their own dung. Those who knew them will ask, 'Where are they?'
8	They will fade like a dream and not be found. They will vanish like a vision in the night.
9	Those who once saw them will see them no more. Their families will never see them again.
10	Their children will beg from the poor, for they must give back their stolen riches.
11	Though they are young, their bones will lie in the dust.
12	“They enjoyed the sweet taste of wickedness, letting it melt under their tongue.
13	They savored it, holding it long in their mouths.
14	But suddenly the food in their bellies turns sour, a poisonous venom in their stomach.
15	They will vomit the wealth they swallowed. God won't let them keep it down.
16	They will suck the poison of cobras. The viper will kill them.
17	They will never again enjoy streams of olive oil or rivers of milk and honey.
18	They will give back everything they worked for. Their wealth will bring them no joy.
19	For they oppressed the poor and left them destitute. They foreclosed on their homes.
20	They were always greedy and never satisfied. Nothing remains of all the things they dreamed about.
21	Nothing is left after they finish gorging themselves. Therefore, their prosperity will not endure.
22	“In the midst of plenty, they will run into trouble and be overcome by misery.
23	May God give them a bellyful of trouble. May God rain down his anger upon them.
24	When they try to escape an iron weapon, a bronze-tipped arrow will pierce them.
25	The arrow is pulled from their back, and the arrowhead glistens with blood. The terrors of death are upon them.
26	Their treasures will be thrown into deepest darkness. A wildfire will devour their goods, consuming all they have left.
27	The heavens will reveal their guilt, and the earth will testify against them.
28	A flood will sweep away their house. God's anger will descend on them in torrents.
29	This is the reward that God gives the wicked. It is the inheritance decreed by God.“

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 for ever 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 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.
