Job - ch 27 v 1 - 20
- Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:
- As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who hath brought my soul to bitterness,
- As long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,
- My lips shall not speak iniquity, neither shall my tongue contrive lying.
- God forbid that I should judge you to be just: till I die I will not depart from my innocence.
- My justification, which I have begun to hold, I will not forsake: for my heart doth not reprehend me in all my life.
- Let my enemy be as the ungodly, and my adversary as the wicked one.
- For what is the hope of the hypocrite if through covetousness he take by violence, and God deliver not his soul?
- Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him?
- Or can he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?
- I will teach you by the hand of God, what the Almighty hath, and I will not conceal it.
- Behold you all know it, and why do you speak vain things without cause?
- This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
- If his sons be multiplied, they shall be for the sword, and his grandsons shall not be filled with bread.
- They that shall remain of him, shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep.
- If he shall heap together silver as earth, and prepare raiment as clay,
- He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with it: and the innocent shall divide the silver.
- He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a booth.
- The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes and find nothing.
- Poverty like water shall take hold on him, a tempest shall oppress him in the night.
