1 Then answered Zophar the Na´amathite, 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?
