| Job 27:1 | And Job again took up his parable, and said:
|
| Job 27:2 | As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; and the Almighty, who hath dealt bitterly with me;
|
| Job 27:3 | All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
|
| Job 27:4 | Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit;
|
| Job 27:5 | Far be it from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.
|
| Job 27:6 | My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
|
| Job 27:7 | Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.
|
| Job 27:8 | For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, when God taketh away his soul?
|
| Job 27:9 | Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him?
|
| Job 27:10 | Will he have his delight in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?
|
| Job 27:11 | I will teach you concerning the hand of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
|
| Job 27:12 | Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye become altogether vain?
|
| Job 27:13 | This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
|
| Job 27:14 | If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not have bread enough.
|
| Job 27:15 | Those that remain of him shall be buried by pestilence, and his widows shall make no lamentation.
|
| Job 27:16 | Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
|
| Job 27:17 | He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
|
| Job 27:18 | He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth which the keeper maketh.
|
| Job 27:19 | He lieth down rich, but there shall be not to gather; he openeth his eyes, and his wealth is not.
|
| Job 27:20 | Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
|
| Job 27:21 | The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; and it sweepeth him out of his place.
|
| Job 27:22 | Yea, it hurleth at him, and spareth not; he would fain flee from its power.
|
| Job 27:23 | Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
