1 Then Sophar the Naamathite answered, and said: 2 Therefore various thoughts succeed one another in me, and my mind is hurried away to different things. 3 The doctrine with which thou reprovest me, I will hear, and the spirit of my understanding shall answer for me. 4 This I know from the beginning, since man was placed upon the earth, 5 that the praise of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment. 6 If his pride mount up even to heaven, and his head touch the clouds: 7 In the end he shall be destroyed like a dunghill, and they that has seen him shall say: Where is he?
