1Zophar the Naamathite popped off and said,

2My thoughts are vibing so hard, I gotta spill the tea quick.

3I felt the shade being thrown at me, so my brain's like, "Time to respond, fr."

4Don’t you know this has been a thing since day one, when humans were put on this planet?

5The wicked may flex for a hot sec, but their joy is just sus and short-lived.

6Even if they rise high like they’re on cloud nine,

7They’ll still ghost like yesterday’s news: people will be like, "Where’d they go?"

8They'll vanish like a dream, can't even find them: just a vision that fades away at night.

9The eyes that peeped them won’t see them again; their spot will be empty, no cap.

10Their kids will try to vibe with the less fortunate, and their hands will bring back what they lost.

11His bones are full of bad vibes from his youth, and they’re just gonna chill with him in the dirt.

12Even if wickedness tastes sweet, he’s still hiding it like a secret under his tongue;

13He’s holding onto it, not letting it go; keeping that sus stuff in his mouth:

14But what’s inside him is all messed up, it’s like the poison of snakes in his gut.

15He’s swallowed all this cash, but he’s gonna throw it up later: God’s gonna make him spit it out.

16He’s gonna suck in the venom from snakes: the viper’s tongue is gonna take him out.

17He won’t even see all the dope rivers, the floods, or the sweet brooks of honey and butter.

18Everything he worked for, he’s gotta give it back, and he won’t get to enjoy it: it’s all about what he’s got, and he won’t be hyped about it.

19'Cause he’s been savage, leaving the poor behind; he’s taken away a crib he didn’t even build.

20For real, he won’t find chill in his belly, and he won’t save what he wanted.

21Ain't gonna be any leftovers, so no one’s checking for his stuff.

22When he's feeling himself, the struggles hit different; all the bad vibes come for him.

23Right when he’s about to chow down, God’s gonna drop some serious wrath on him while he’s munching.

24He’s gonna bounce from the iron weapon, but that steel bow is gonna hit him hard.

25It's pulled out, and yeah, that shiny sword is coming out of him; he’s feeling all the fear.

26All the dark secrets are hidden away; a fire that ain't even fanned is gonna roast him; it’s gonna be rough for anyone left in his crib.

27The sky’s gonna expose his wrongdoings; the earth’s gonna rise up against him.

28The growth of his house is ghosting, and his stuff’s gonna dip on the day of his wrath.

29This is what a wicked dude gets from God, and it's the legacy that’s laid out for him by God.

1Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

2Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.

3I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.

4Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,

5That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?

6Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;

7Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?

8He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.

9The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.

10His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.

11His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.

12Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;

13Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:

14Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.

15He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

16He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him.

17He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.

18That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.

19Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;

20Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.

21There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.

22In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.

23When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

24He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.

25It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.

26All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.

27The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.

28The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

29This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
