en_RV1895 - Job 27 - Ozzuu Bible

¹ And Job again took up his parable, and said,

² As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;

³ (For my life is yet whole in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;)

⁴ Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit.

⁵ God forbid that I should justify you: Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.

⁶ My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live

⁷ Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.

⁸ For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, when God taketh away his soul?

⁹ Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him?

¹⁰ Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?

¹¹ I will teach you concerning the hand of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

¹² Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye become altogether vain?

¹³ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.

¹⁴ If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

¹⁵ Those that remain of him shall be buried in death, and his widows shall make no lamentation.

¹⁶ Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;

¹⁷ He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

¹⁸ He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth which the keeper maketh.

¹⁹ He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.

²⁰ Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest stealeth him away in the night.

²¹ The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; and it sweepeth him out of his place.

²² For God shall hurl at him, and not spare: He would fain flee out of his hand.

²³ Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
