Job 27:7-23

7Let mine enemyH341 beH1961 as the wickedH7563,And let him that riseth up against me beH1961 as the unrighteous.8For what is the hopeH8615 of the godlessH2611, though he get him gainH1214,When GodH433 taketh away his soulH5315?9Will GodH410 hearH8085 his cryH6818,When troubleH6869 cometh upon him?10Will he delightH6026 himself in the AlmightyH7706,And callH7121 upon GodH433 at all timesH6256?11I will teachH3384 you concerning the handH3027 of GodH410;That which is with the AlmightyH7706 will I not conceal.12Behold, all ye yourselves have seenH2372 it;WhyH4100 then are ye become altogether vain?13This is the portionH2506 of a wickedH7563 manH120 with GodH410,And the heritage of oppressors, which they receiveH3947 from the AlmightyH7706:14If his children be multipliedH7235, it is for the swordH2719;And his offspring shall not be satisfiedH7646 with breadH3899.15Those that remain of him shall be buriedH6912 in deathH4194,And his widowsH490 shall make no lamentation.16Though he heap up silverH3701 as the dustH6083,And prepareH3559 raiment as the clay;17He may prepareH3559 it, but the just shall putH3847 it on,And the innocentH5355 shall divideH2505 the silverH3701.18He buildeth his houseH1004 as the mothH6211,And as a boothH5521 which the keeper maketh.19He lieth downH7901 richH6223, but he shall not be gatheredH622 to his fathers;He openeth his eyesH5869, and he is not.20TerrorsH1091 overtakeH5381 him like watersH4325;A tempest stealeth him away in the nightH3915.21The eastH6921 windH6921 carrieth him awayH5375, and he departeth;And it sweepeth him out of his placeH4725.22ForGodshall hurl at him, and not spareH2550:He would fain fleeH1272 out of his handH3027.23Men shall clapH5606 their handsH3709 at him,And shall hissH8319 him out of his placeH4725.
