Therefore my thoughts cause me to answer, And because of my sensations in me. |
| 20:3 | I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer. | The chastisement of my shame I hear, And the spirit of mine understanding Doth cause me to answer: |

Though his excellency go up to the heavens, And his head against a cloud he strike -- |

| 20:9 | The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him. | The eye hath not seen him, and addeth not. And not again doth his place behold him. |
| 20:10 | His sons do the poor oppress, And his hands give back his wealth. | |
| 20:11 | His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust. | His bones have been full of his youth, And with him on the dust it lieth down. |
| 20:12 | Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; | Though he doth sweeten evil in his mouth, Doth hide it under his tongue, |
| 20:13 | Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still |
Hath pity on it, and doth not forsake it, And keep it back in the midst of his palate, |
| 20:14 | Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him. | His food in his bowels is turned, The bitterness of asps `is' in his heart. |
| 20:15 | He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly. | Wealth he hath swallowed, and doth vomit it. From his belly God driveth it out. |

| 20:17 | He shall not see the rivers, |
He looketh not on rivulets, Flowing of brooks of honey and butter. |
| 20:18 | That 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. | He is giving back `what' he laboured for, And doth not consume `it'; As a bulwark `is' his exchange, and he exults not. |
| 20:19 | Because he hath |
For he oppressed -- he forsook the poor, A house he hath taken violently away, And he doth not build it. |
| 20:20 | Surely he shall not |
For he hath not known ease in his belly. With his desirable thing he delivereth not himself. |

| 20:24 | He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through. | He fleeth from an iron weapon, Pass through him doth a bow of brass. |
| 20:25 | It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him. | One hath drawn, And it cometh out from the body, And a glittering weapon from his gall proceedeth. On him `are' terrors. |
| 20:26 | All 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. | All darkness is hid for his treasures, Consume him doth a fire not blown, Broken is the remnant in his tent. |
