Job

Chapter 27

1 Moreover3254 Job347 continued5375 his parable,4912 and said,559

2 As God410 liveth,2416 who hath taken away5493 my judgment;4941 and the Almighty,7706 who hath vexed4843 my soul;5315

3 All3605 the while5750 my breath5397 is in me, and the spirit7307 of God433 is in my nostrils;639

4 My lips8193 shall not518 speak1696 wickedness,5766 nor518 my tongue3956 utter1897 deceit.7423

5 God forbid2486 that518 I should justify6663 you: till5704 I die1478 I will not3808 remove5493 mine integrity8538 from4480 me.

6 My righteousness6666 I hold fast,2388 and will not3808 let it go:7503 my heart3824 shall not3808 reproach2778 me so long as I live.4480 3117

7 Let mine enemy341 be1961 as the wicked,7563 and he that riseth up against6965 me as the unrighteous.5767

8 For3588 what4100 is the hope8615 of the hypocrite,2611 though3588 he hath gained,1214 when3588 God433 taketh away7953 his soul?5315

9 Will God410 hear8085 his cry6818 when3588 trouble6869 cometh935 upon5921 him?

10 Will he delight himself6026 in5921 the Almighty?7706 will he always3605 6256 call upon7121 God?433

11 I will teach3384 you by the hand3027 of God:410 that which834 is with5973 the Almighty7706 will I not3808 conceal.3582

12 Behold,2005 all3605 ye yourselves859 have seen2372 it; why4100 then are ye thus2088 altogether1892 vain?1891

13 This2088 is the portion2506 of a wicked7563 man120 with5973 God,410 and the heritage5159 of oppressors,6184 which they shall receive3947 of the Almighty.4480 7706

14 If518 his children1121 be multiplied,7235 it is for3926 the sword:2719 and his offspring6631 shall not3808 be satisfied7646 with bread.3899

15 Those that remain8300 of him shall be buried6912 in death:4194 and his widows490 shall not3808 weep.1058

16 Though518 he heap up6651 silver3701 as the dust,6083 and prepare3559 raiment4403 as the clay;2563

17 He may prepare3559 it, but the just6662 shall put it on,3847 and the innocent5355 shall divide2505 the silver.3701

18 He buildeth1129 his house1004 as a moth,6211 and as a booth5521 that the keeper5341 maketh.6213

19 The rich man6223 shall lie down,7901 but he shall not3808 be gathered:622 he openeth6491 his eyes,5869 and he is not.369

20 Terrors1091 take hold5381 on him as waters,4325 a tempest5492 stealeth him away1589 in the night.3915

21 The east wind6921 carrieth him away,5375 and he departeth:1980 and as a storm hurleth8175 him out of his place.4480 4725

22 For God shall cast7993 upon5921 him, and not3808 spare:2550 he would fain flee1272 1272 out of his hand.4480 3027

23 Men shall clap5606 their hands3709 at5921 him, and shall hiss8319 5921 him out of his place.4480 4725
