Job 27
27 Moreover Job †continued his parable, and said,
2 aAs God liveth, bwho hath taken away my judgment;
And the Almighty, who hath †vexed my soul;
3 cAll the while my breath is in me,
And ||the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
4 My lips shall not speak dwickedness,
Nor my tongue utter ddeceit.
5 eGod forbid that I should justify you:
Till I die I will not remove mine fintegrity from me.
6 My righteousness I ghhold fast, and will not hlet it go:
iMy heart shall not reproach me †so long as I live.
7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked,
And khe that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
8 lFor what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he mhath gained,
When God taketh away his soul?
9 nWill God hear his cry
When trouble cometh upon him?
10 oWill he delight himself in the Almighty?
Will he always call upon God?
11 I will teach you ||by the hand of God:
That which is pwith the Almighty will I not conceal.
12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it;
Why then are ye thus altogether vain?
13 qThis is the portion of a wicked man with God,
And the heritage of roppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
14 sIf his children be multiplied, it is for tthe sword:
And his uoffspring tshall not be satisfied with bread.
15 Those that remain of him tshall be buried in death:
And whis widows shall not weep.
16 Though he xheap up silver as the dust,
And prepare raiment as the clay;
17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on,
And ythe innocent shall divide the silver.
18 He buildeth zhis house as a amoth,
And as a bbooth that cthe keeper maketh.
19 The rich man dshall lie down, but he shall not be egathered:
He openeth his eyes, and fhe is not.
20 gTerrors take hold on him as hwaters,
A itempest stealeth him away djin the night.
21 The east wind carrieth him away, and khe departeth:
And las a storm hurleth him mout of his place.
22 For God shall ncast upon him, and not spare:
†He would fain flee out of his hand.
23 Men shall oclap their hands at him,
