Job  


27 : 1 And Job againtook up his discourse, and said:
27 : 2 As God lives, who hastaken away my right,and the Almighty, who hasmade my soul bitter,
27 : 3 as long as my breath is in me,andthe spirit of God is in my nostrils,
27 : 4 my lips will not speakfalsehood,and my tongue will not utterdeceit.
27 : 5 Far be it from me to say that you are right;till I die I will not put away myintegrity from me.
27 : 6 Ihold fast my righteousness and will not let it go;my heart does notreproach me for any of my days.
27 : 7 Let my enemy be as the wicked,and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
27 : 8 For what is the hope of the godlesswhen God cuts him off,when God takes away his life?
27 : 9 Will God hear his crywhen distress comes upon him?
27 : 10 Will hetake delight in the Almighty?Will he call upon God at all times?
27 : 11 I will teach you concerning the hand of God;what is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
27 : 12 Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves;why then have you become altogether vain?
27 : 13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God,and the heritage thatoppressors receive from the Almighty:
27 : 14 If hischildren are multiplied, it is forthe sword,and his descendants have not enough bread.
27 : 15 Those who survive him the pestilence buries,and hiswidows do not weep.
27 : 16 Though heheap up silver like dust,and pile up clothing like clay,
27 : 17 he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,andthe innocent will divide the silver.
27 : 18 He builds hishouse like a moth's,likea booth thata watchman makes.
27 : 19 He goes to bed rich, but willdo so no more;he opens his eyes, andhis wealth is gone.
27 : 20 Terrors overtake him likea flood;in the night a whirlwindcarries him off.
27 : 21 The east wind lifts him up and he is gone;itsweeps him out of his place.
27 : 22 Ithurls at himwithout pity;he flees from itspower in headlong flight.
27 : 23 Itclaps its hands at himandhisses at him from its place.
