Job - Chapter 27 - King James Version
- Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
- AsGod liveth,whohath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty,whohath vexed my soul;
- All the while my breathisin me, and the spirit of Godisin my nostrils;
- My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
- God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
- My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproachmeso long as I live.
- Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
- For whatisthe hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
- Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
- Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
- I will teach you by the hand of God:thatwhichiswith the Almighty will I not conceal.
- Behold, all ye yourselves have seenit;why then are ye thus altogether vain?
- Thisisthe portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors,whichthey shall receive of the Almighty.
- If his children be multiplied,it isfor the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
- Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
- Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
- He may prepareit, but the just shall putiton, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
- He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booththatthe keeper maketh.
- The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and heisnot.
- Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
- The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
- ForGodshall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
- Menshall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
