Job 27:1 Moreover Job347 continued32545375{Heb. added to take up} his parable,4912 and said,5592As God410 liveth,2416who hath taken away5493 my judgment;4941 and the Almighty,7706who hath vexed4843 my soul;5315{Heb. made my soul bitter}3 All the while5750 my breath5397is in me, and the spirit7307 of God433{That is, the breath which God gave him}is in my nostrils;6394 My lips8193 shall not speak1696 wickedness,5766 nor my tongue3956 utter1897 deceit.74235 God forbid2486 that I should justify6663 you: till I die1478 I will not remove5493 mine integrity8538 from me.
6 My righteousness6666 I hold2388 fast, and will not let it go:7503 my heart3824 shall not reproach2778me so long as I live.3117{Heb. from my days}7 Let mine enemy341 be as the wicked,7563 and he that riseth up6965 against me as the unrighteous.5767
Job 27:8 For what is the hope8615 of the hypocrite,2611 though he hath gained,1214 when God433 taketh away7953 his soul?53159 Will God410 hear8085 his cry6818 when trouble6869 cometh935 upon him?
10 Will he delight6026 himself in the Almighty?7706 will he always6256 call7121 upon God?43311 I will teach3384 you by the hand3027{Or, being in the hand etc.} of God:410that which is with the Almighty7706 will I not conceal.358212 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen2372it; why then are ye thus altogether1892 vain?189113 This is the portion2506 of a wicked7563 man120 with God,410 and the heritage5159 of oppressors,6184which they shall receive3947 of the Almighty.770614 If his children1121 be multiplied,7235itis for3926 the sword:2719 and his offspring6631 shall not be satisfied7646 with bread.389915 Those that remain8300 of him shall be buried6912 in death:4194 and his widows490 shall not weep.105816 Though he heap up6651 silver3701 as the dust,6083 and prepare3559 raiment4403 as the clay;256317 He may prepare3559it, but the just6662 shall put it on,3847 and the innocent5355 shall divide2505 the silver.370118 He buildeth1129 his house1004 as a moth,6211 and as a booth5521that the keeper5341 maketh.621319 The rich6223 man shall lie down,7901 but he shall not be gathered:622 he openeth6491 his eyes,5869 and he is not.
20 Terrors1091 take hold5381 on him as waters,4325 a tempest5492 stealeth him away1589 in the night.391521 The east6921 wind carrieth him away,5375 and he departeth:3212 and as a storm hurleth8175 him out of his place.472522 For God shall cast7993 upon him, and not spare:2550 he would fain1272{Heb. in fleeing he would flee} flee1272 out of his hand.302723Men shall clap5606 their hands3709 at him, and shall hiss8319 him out of his place.4725
