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