New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 19
27 I will see him for myself. Yes, I will see him with my own eyes. I am overwhelmed at the thought!
28 “How dare you go on persecuting me, saying, ‘It’s his own fault’?
29 You should fear punishment yourselves, for your attitude deserves punishment. Then you will know that there is indeed a judgment.”
Job 20
1 Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
2 “I must reply because I am greatly disturbed.
3 I’ve had to endure your insults, but now my spirit prompts me to reply.
4 “Don’t you realize that from the beginning of time, ever since people were first placed on the earth,
5 the triumph of the wicked has been short lived and the joy of the godless has been only temporary?
6 Though the pride of the godless reaches to the heavens and their heads touch the clouds,
7 yet they will vanish forever, thrown away like their own dung. Those who knew them will ask, ‘Where are they?’
8 They will fade like a dream and not be found. They will vanish like a vision in the night.
