Job 27:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
Job 27:2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who
hath 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 mine
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 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 hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God
taketh away his soul?
Job 27:9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
Job 27:10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon 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 ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye 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 buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
Job 27:19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth
his eyes, and he is not.
Job 27:20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the
night.
Job 27:21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm
hurleth him out of his place.
Job 27:22 For 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.
