Chapter 27 | |
1. |
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, |
|
2. |
As God lives, who has taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who has vexed my soul; |
|
3. |
All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; |
|
4. |
My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. |
|
5. |
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. |
|
6. |
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. |
|
7. |
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. |
|
8. |
For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he has gained, when God taketh away his soul? |
|
9. |
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? |
|
10. |
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God? |
|
11. |
I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. |
|
12. |
Behold, all you yourselves have seen it; why then are you thus altogether vain? |
|
13. |
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty. |
|
14. |
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. |
|
15. |
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep. |
|
16. |
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; |
|
17. |
He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. |
|
18. |
He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper makes. |
|
19. |
The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not. |
|
20. |
Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. |
|
21. |
The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place. |
|
22. |
For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. |
|
23. |
Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. |
