Job - ch 27 v 1 - 20
- And Job continued his parable and said,
- As ùGod liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul,
- All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of +God is in my nostrils,
- My lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit!
- Be it far from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not remove my blamelessness from me.
- My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart reproacheth me not one of my days.
- Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
- For what is the hope of the ungodly, when God cutteth him off, when +God taketh away his soul?
- Will ùGod hear his cry when distress cometh upon him?
- Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call upon +God?
- I will teach you concerning the hand of ùGod; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
- Behold, ye yourselves have all seen it; and why are ye thus altogether vain?
- This is the portion of the wicked man with ùGod, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from the Almighty: --
- If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword, and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread;
- Those that remain of him shall be buried by death, and his widows shall not weep.
- Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
- He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on; and the innocent shall divide the silver.
- He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth that a keeper maketh.
- He lieth down rich, but will do so no more; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
- Terrors overtake him like waters; a whirlwind stealeth him away in the night.
