2Therefore do my thoughts give me an answer, and for this is my haste within me.
2Therefore my thoughts cause me to answer, And because of my sensations in me.
3I hear a reproof putting me to shame; and [my] spirit answereth me by mine understanding.
3The chastisement of my shame I hear, And the spirit of mine understanding Doth cause me to answer:
4Knowest thou [not] this, that of old, since man was placed upon earth,
4This hast thou known from antiquity? Since the placing of man on earth?
5The exultation of the wicked is short, and the joy of the ungodly man but for a moment?
5That the singing of the wicked <FI>is<Fi> short, And the joy of the profane for a moment,
6Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds,
6Though his excellency go up to the heavens, And his head against a cloud he strike--
7Like his own dung doth he perish for ever; they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
7As his own dung for ever he doth perish, His beholders say: `Where <FI>is<Fi> he?'
8He flieth away as a dream, and is not found; and is chased away as a vision of the night.
8As a dream he fleeth, and they find him not, And he is driven away as a vision of the night,
9The eye which saw him shall [see him] not again; and his place beholdeth him no more.
9The eye hath not seen him, and addeth not. And not again doth his place behold him.
10His children shall seek the favour of the poor, and his hands restore his wealth.
10His sons do the poor oppress, And his hands give back his wealth.
11His bones were full of his youthful strength; but it shall lie down with him in the dust.
11His bones have been full of his youth, And with him on the dust it lieth down.
12Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth [and] he hide it under his tongue,
12Though he doth sweeten evil in his mouth, Doth hide it under his tongue,
13[Though] he spare it, and forsake it not, but keep it within his mouth,
13Hath pity on it, and doth not forsake it, And keep it back in the midst of his palate,
14His food is turned in his bowels; it is the gall of asps within him.
14His food in his bowels is turned, The bitterness of asps <FI>is<Fi> in his heart.
15He hath swallowed down riches, but he shall vomit them up again:God shall cast them out of his belly.
15Wealth he hath swallowed, and doth vomit it. From his belly God driveth it out.
16He shall suck the poison of asps; the viper's tongue shall kill him.
16Gall of asps he sucketh, Slay him doth the tongue of a viper.
17He shall not see streams, rivers, brooks of honey and butter.
17He looketh not on rivulets, Flowing of brooks of honey and butter.
18That which he laboured for shall he restore, and not swallow down; its restitution shall be according to the value, and he shall not rejoice [therein].
18He is giving back <FI>what<Fi> he laboured for, And doth not consume <FI>it<Fi> ; As a bulwark <FI>is<Fi> his exchange, and he exults not.
19For he hath oppressed, hath forsaken the poor; he hath violently taken away a house that he did not build.
19For he oppressed--he forsook the poor, A house he hath taken violently away, And he doth not build it.
20Because he knew no rest in his craving, he shall save nought of what he most desired.
20For he hath not known ease in his belly. With his desirable thing he delivereth not himself.
21Nothing escaped his greediness; therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
21There is not a remnant to his food, Therefore his good doth not stay.
22In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits; every hand of the wretched shall come upon him.
22In the fulness of his sufficiency he is straitened. Every perverse hand doth meet him.
23It shall be that, to fill his belly, he will cast his fierce anger upon him, and will rain it upon him into his flesh.
23It cometh to pass, at the filling of his belly, He sendeth forth against him The fierceness of His anger, Yea, He raineth on him in his eating.
24If he have fled from the iron weapon, the bow of brass shall strike him through.
24He fleeth from an iron weapon, Pass through him doth a bow of brass.
25He draweth it forth; it cometh out of his body, and the glittering point out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
25One hath drawn, And it cometh out from the body, And a glittering weapon from his gall proceedeth. On him <FI>are<Fi> terrors.
26All darkness is laid up for his treasures: a fire not blown shall devour him; it shall feed upon what is left in his tent.
26All darkness is hid for his treasures, Consume him doth a fire not blown, Broken is the remnant in his tent.
27The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.
27Reveal do the heavens his iniquity, And earth is raising itself against him.
