Job 27:1
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
Job 27:2
As God lives, who has taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who has vexed my soul;
Job 27:3
All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
Job 27:4
My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
Job 27:5
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove my 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 my enemy be as the wicked, and he that rises up against me as the unrighteous.
Job 27:8
For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he has gained, when God takes away his soul?
Job 27:9
Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?
Job 27:10
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call on God?
Job 27:11
I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
Job 27:12
Behold, all you yourselves have seen it; why then are you thus altogether vain?
Job 27:13
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
Job 27:14
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
Job 27:15
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
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 builds his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper makes.
Job 27:19
The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he opens his eyes, and he is not.
Job 27:20
Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest steals him away in the night.
Job 27:21
The east wind carries him away, and he departs: and as a storm hurles him out of his place.
Job 27:22
For God shall cast on him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
Job 27:23
Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
