Job 20:1-7 God's Word Translation (GW)

1. Then Zophar from Naama replied ⌊to Job⌋,

2. “My disturbing thoughts make me answer,and because of them I am upset.

3. I have heard criticism that makes me ashamed,but a spirit beyond my understanding gives me answers.

4. “Don’t you knowthat from ancient times,from the time humans were placed on earth,

5. the triumph of the wicked is short-lived,and the joy of the godless person lasts only a moment?

6. If his height reaches to the skyand his head touches the clouds,

7. he will certainly rot like his own feces.Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’
