Verse
Job - ch 27 v 1 - 20
- Job again took up his parable, and said,
- "As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter.
- (For the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
- surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit.
- Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
- I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
- "Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
- For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
- Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?
- Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?
- I will teach you about the hand of God. That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
- Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?
- "This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
- If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
- Those who remain of him shall be buried in death. His widows shall make no lamentation.
- 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 builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.
- He lies down rich, but he shall not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.
- Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.
