The Book of Job

Chapter 27

American Standard Version

Jb 27:1And Job again took up his parable, and said,
Jb 27:2As God liveth, who hath taken away my right, And the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul:
Jb 27:3(For my life is yet whole in me, And the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
Jb 27:4Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, Neither shall my tongue utter deceit.
Jb 27:5Far be it from me that I should justify you: Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.
Jb 27:6My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
Jb 27:7Let mine enemy be as the wicked, And let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.
Jb 27:8For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, When God taketh away his soul?
Jb 27:9Will God hear his cry, When trouble cometh upon him?
Jb 27:10Will he delight himself in the Almighty, And call upon God at all times?
Jb 27:11I will teach you concerning the hand of God; That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
Jb 27:12Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; Why then are ye become altogether vain?
Jb 27:13This is the portion of a wicked man with God, And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty:
Jb 27:14If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
Jb 27:15Those that remain of him shall be buried in death, And his widows shall make no lamentation.
Jb 27:16Though he heap up silver as the dust, And prepare raiment as the clay;
Jb 27:17He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, And the innocent shall divide the silver.
Jb 27:18He buildeth his house as the moth, And as a booth which the keeper maketh.
Jb 27:19He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered to his fathers; He openeth his eyes, and he is not.
Jb 27:20Terrors overtake him like waters; A tempest stealeth him away in the night.
Jb 27:21The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; And it sweepeth him out of his place.
Jb 27:22For God shall hurl at him, and not spare: He would fain flee out of his hand.
Jb 27:23Men shall clap their hands at him, And shall hiss him out of his place.
