Book 18 Job Chapter 027
| |
| 027:001 | Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
|
| 027:002 | As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
|
| 027:003 | All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
|
| 027:004 | My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
|
| 027:005 | God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
|
| 027:006 | My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
|
| 027:007 | Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
|
| 027:008 | For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
|
| 027:009 | Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
|
| 027:010 | Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
|
| 027:011 | I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
|
| 027:012 | Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
|
| 027:013 | This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
|
| 027:014 | If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
|
| 027:015 | Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
|
| 027:016 | Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
|
| 027:017 | He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
|
| 027:018 | He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
|
| 027:019 | The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
|
| 027:020 | Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
|
| 027:021 | The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
|
| 027:022 | For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
|
| 027:023 | Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. |
