1 Then Tzawapar (Zophar) the naimathay (naamathite) inah (answer / respond),
2 “Therefore do my thoughts shawab (turn) answer to me, even by reason of my chawash (haste) that is in me.
3 I have shamai (hearken / hear) the reproof which puts me to kalamah (shame). The rawach (spirit / wind) of my bayanah (understanding) inah (answer / respond) me.
4 Don't you yadai (know) this from id (until / as far as) time, since adam (man) was shawam (place / establish / appoint) on aratz (Earth/land),
5 That the rananah (triumphing) of the rashai (wicked) is qarawab (short), the shamachah (joy) of the godless but for a ragai (in an instance)?
6 Though his height ilah (go up / offer) up to the shamayam (Shamayam / Heavens), and his raash (head) nagai (reach) to the ib (clouds),
7 Yet he shall abad (destroy / perish) natzach (forever) like his own galal (dung). Those who raah (see / saw) seen him shall amar (said), ‘ay (where) is he?’
8 He shall iwap (flying) away as a chalawam (dream), and shall not be matzaa (found). Yes, he shall be nadad (chased) away like a chazayawan (vision) of the layal (night).
9 The iyan (eye) which shazap (saw) him shall see him no more, neither shall his maqawam (place) any more see him.
10 His ban (son) shall seek the favor of the dal (poor). His yad (hand) shall shawab (turn) back his wealth.
11 His itzam (bones) are malaa (full) of his ilawam (youth), but youth shall shakab (lie) down with him in the ipar (dust).
12 “Though rai (wickedness) is mathaq (sweet) in his pah (mouth), though he kachad (hide) it under his lashawan (tongue / language),
13 Though he chamal (spare) it, and will not let it go, but manai (keep) it still thawak (midst) his chak (mouth);
14 Yet his lacham (food) in his maih (bowels) is hapak (turned). It is cobra venom qarab (among / near) him.
15 He has balai (swallowed) down riches, and he shall qawaa (vomit) them up again. Al will yarash (cast) them out of his batan (belly).
16 He shall yanaq (suck) cobra raash (head). The apaih (viper's) lashawan (tongue / language) shall harag (kill) him.
17 He shall not raah (see / saw) at the palagawath (rivers), the flowing streams of dabash (honey) and chamaah (butter).
18 That for which he labored he shall shawab (turn), and shall not balai (swallow) it down. According to the chayal (wealth / substance / capability / valor) that he has gotten, he shall not ilas (rejoice).
19 For he has ratzatz (oppressed) and forsaken the dal (poor). He has violently gazal (taken) away a bayath (house), and he shall not banah (build) it up.
20 “Because he yadai (knew) no shalaw (quietness) batan (within) him, he shall not malat (save) anything of that in which he chamad (delights).
21 There was nothing sharayad (left) that he didn't devour, therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
22 In the fullness of his sapaq (sufficiency), distress shall overtake him. The yad (hand) of everyone who is in imal (misery) shall bawaa (bring) on him.
23 When he is about to malaa (fill) his batan (belly), Alahayam () will cast the charawan (fierceness) of his ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting) on him. It will matar (rain) on him lachawam (while) he is eating.
24 He shall barach (flee) from the barazal (iron) nashaq (weapon). The bronze qashath (arrow) shall chalap (strike) him through.
25 He shalap (draws) it yatzaa (go out / come out), and it comes out of his gawah (body). Yes, the baraq (glittering) point halak (move) out of his liver. Amayam (terrors) are on him.
26 All chashak (darkness) is taman (laid) up for his treasures. An unfanned ash (fire) shall akal (eat) him. It shall consume that which is sharayad (left) in his ahal (tent).
27 The shamayam (Shamayam / Heavens) shall galah (reveal) his iwan (guilt/iniquity). The aratz (Earth/land) shall qawam (rise up) up against him.
28 The yabawal (increase) of his bayath (house) shall depart. They shall rush nagar (away) in the yawam (day) of his ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting).
29 This is the chalaq (portion) of a rashai (wicked) adam (man) from Alahayam (), the nachalah (heritage) amar (spoke) to him by Al.”
