Job Affirms His Righteousness

1Then JobH347 1continuedH3254H5375 his 2discourseH4912 and saidH559,2“As GodH410 livesH2416, 3who has takenH5493 awayH5493 my rightH4941, And the AlmightyH7706, 4who has embitteredH4843 my soulH5315,3For as longH3605H5750 as 5lifeH5397 is in me, And the 67breathH5397 of GodH433 is in my nostrilsH639,4My lipsH8193 certainlyH518 will not speakH1696 unjustlyH5767, NorH518 will 8my tongueH3956 mutterH1897 deceitH7423.5FarH2486 be it from me that I should declareH6663 you rightH6663; TillH5704 I dieH1478 9I will not putH5493 awayH5493 my integrityH8538 from me.6I 10holdH2388 fastH2388 my righteousnessH6666 and will not letH7503 it goH7503. My heartH3824 does not reproachH2778 anyH4480 of my daysH3117.

The State of the Godless

7“May my enemyH340 be as the wickedH7563 And 11my opponentH6965 as the unjustH5767.8For whatH4100 is 12the hopeH8615 of the godlessH2611 13whenH3588 he is cutH1214 offH1214, WhenH3588 GodH433 requiresH7953 14his 15lifeH5315?9Will GodH410 16hearH8085 his cryH6818 WhenH3588 17distressH6869 comesH935 upon him?10Will he takeH6026 18delightH6026 in the AlmightyH7706? Will he callH7121 on GodH433 at allH3605 timesH6256?11I will instructH3384 you in the 19powerH3027 of GodH410; WhatH834 is with the AlmightyH7706 I will not concealH3582.12BeholdH2005, allH3605 of you have seenH2372 it; WhyH4100 thenH2088 do you 20actH1891 foolishlyH1891?

13“ThisH2088 is 21the portionH2506 of a wickedH7563 manH120 from GodH410, And the inheritanceH5159 which 22tyrantsH6184 receiveH3947 from the AlmightyH7706.14ThoughH518 his sonsH1121 are manyH7235, 23they are destined 24for the swordH2719; And his 25descendantsH6631 will not be satisfiedH7646 with breadH3899.15His survivorsH8300 will be buriedH6912 because of the plagueH4194, And 26their 27widowsH490 will not be able to weepH1058.16ThoughH518 he pilesH6651 up silverH3701 like dustH6083 And preparesH3559 garmentsH4403 as plentiful as the clayH2563,17He may prepareH3559 it, 28but the justH6662 will wearH3847 it And the innocentH5355 will divideH2505 the silverH3701.18He has builtH1129 his 29houseH1004 like the 30spider’s web, Or as a hutH5521 which the watchmanH5341 has madeH6213.19He liesH7901 downH7901 richH6223, but neverH3808 31againH622; He opensH6491 his eyesH5869, and 32it is noH369 longerH369.2033TerrorsH1091 overtakeH5381 him like a floodH4325; A tempestH5492 stealsH1589 him awayH1589 34in the nightH3915.21The eastH6921 35windH6921 carriesH5375 him away, and he is goneH1980, For it whirlsH8175 him 36awayH8175 from his placeH4725.22For it will hurlH7993 at him 37withoutH3808 sparingH2550; He will surelyH1272 try to 38fleeH1272 from its 39powerH3027.23Men will clapH5606 their handsH3709 at him And will 40hissH8319 him from his placeH4725.
