So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the godless will perish,

His sons, however, did not walk in his ways but turned aside after dishonest gain, and they took bribes and perverted justice.

Then Zophar the Naamathite responded,

Here I am; testify against me before the Lord and His anointed. Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I exploited? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I taken a bribe to close my eyes with it? I will return it to you.”

Therefore because you impose heavy rent on the poor And take a tribute of grain from them, Though you have built houses of cut stone, Yet you will not live in them; You have planted beautiful vineyards, yet you will not drink their wine.For I know your offenses are many and your sins are great, You who are hostile to the righteous and accept bribes, And turn away the poor from justice at the gate.

The godly person has perished from the land, And there is no upright person among mankind. All of them lie in wait for bloodshed; Each of them hunts the other with a net.

Sinners in Zion are terrified; Trembling has seized the godless.“ Who among us can live with the consuming fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?”One who walks righteously and speaks with integrity, One who rejects unjust gain And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe; One who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed And shuts his eyes from looking at evil;

Is your wickedness not abundant, And is there no end to your guilty deeds?For you have seized pledges from your brothers without cause, And stripped people naked.You have given the weary no water to drink, And you have withheld bread from the hungry.But the earth belongs to the powerful man, And the one who is honorable dwells on it.You have sent widows away empty, And the strength of orphans has been crushed.

For what is the hope of the godless when he makes an end of life, When God requires his life?

But the godless in heart nurture anger; They do not call for help when He binds them.

Because I saved the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.The blessing of the one who was about to perish came upon me, And I made the widow’s heart sing for joy.I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a headband.I was eyes to those who were blind, And feet to those who could not walk.I was a father to the poor, And I investigated the case which I did not know.I broke the jaws of the wicked And rescued the prey from his teeth.

Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, And the tent of the wicked will no longer exist.”

The tents of the destroyers prosper, And those who provoke God are secure, Whom God brings into their power.

and he will cut him in two and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

If wrongdoing is in your hand, put it far away, And do not let malice dwell in your tents;
