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 rebuke of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer.
4 Know you not this of old, since man was placed upon the earth,
5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
