Job 27:1
And Job continued his parable and said,
Job 27:2
As *God liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered 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 unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit!
Job 27:5
Be it far from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not remove my blamelessness from me.
Job 27:6
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart reproacheth me not one of my days.
Job 27:7
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
Job 27:8
For what is the hope of the ungodly, when God cutteth him off, when +God taketh away his soul?
Job 27:9
Will *God hear his cry when distress cometh upon him?
Job 27:10
Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call upon +God?
Job 27:11
I will teach you concerning the hand of *God; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
Job 27:12
Behold, ye yourselves have all seen it ; and why are ye thus altogether vain?
Job 27:13
This is the portion of the wicked man with *God, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from 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 by death, and his widows shall not weep.
Job 27:16
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing 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 buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth that a keeper maketh.
Job 27:19
He lieth down rich, but will do so no more; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
Job 27:20
Terrors overtake him like waters; a whirlwind stealeth him away in the night.
Job 27:21
The east wind carrieth him away and he is gone; and as a storm it hurleth him out of his place.
Job 27:22
And God shall cast upon 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.
