And undertaking, Sophar the Minean says:
Not so far have I undertook to contradict you in these things, and neither do you perceive more than I.
Instruction for making me ashamed — I will hearken to; and the spirit of the understanding answers me.
Have these things you known from the yet of which time was put man upon the earth?
For the gladness of the impious is an extraordinary and a cause for joy of the lawbreakers is destruction.
If should ascend into heaven his gifts, or and his sacrifice — the clouds should touch;
For whenever he should seem already firmly fixed, then unto the end he shall perish; and the ones knowing him shall say, Where is he?
As if a dream spreading forth, in no way shall he be found; so he flys and as if a manifestation nightly.
The eye overlooked, and does not proceed, and no longer pays attention to him; his place.
His sons — may destroy his inferiors, and may his hands — light the fire of griefs.
His bones — were filled with the vigor of his youth, and with him upon the embankment it shall go to bed.
Though should be sweet in his mouth, evil, he shall hide it under his tongue.
And he shall not spare it, and will not abandon it, but brings it in the midst of his throat.
Yet in no way shall he be able to help himself; the bile of an asp is in his belly.
His riches unjustly brought together shall be vomited forth. From out of his house — shall drag him away an angel.
The rage and of dragons may he nurse; may do away with and him the tongue of a serpent.
May he not behold the milking of grazing animals, nor the pastures of honey and butter.
For in emptiness and vanity he tired for riches, of which he shall not taste; it is as if tough, unchewable, and impotable.
Of many for of the disabled the houses he crushed; and a habitation he seized by force, and he established it not.
Is not his safety in the possessions; by his desire he will not escape.
There is no leftover in his foods; on account of this shall not bloom his good things.
And whenever it should seem urgent to accomplish something, he shall be afflicted; and all distress upon him shall come.
If by any means he might fill his belly, let God send as a successor upon him the rage of anger; may wash over him griefs.
And in no way shall he be delivered from the hand of iron; may pierce him the bow of brass.
May go completely and through his body the arrow; the stars and on his habitation may walk; upon him may fears be.
All and darkness for him may wait; shall devour him fire inextinguishable; may inflict evil on and his a stranger the house.
May uncover and his the heaven his lawless deeds; and the earth and rise up against him.
May draw the house his destruction unto the end; the day of anger may come upon him.
This is the portion of man of an impious from the lord, and the possession of his substance given to him by the overseer.
