Job Affirms His Righteousness

1JobH347 againH3254 tookH5375 upH5375 his 1discourseH4912 and saidH559,2“As GodH410 livesH2416, 2who has takenH5493 awayH5493 my rightH4941, And the AlmightyH7706, 3who hasH4843 embitteredH4843 my soulH5315,3For as longH3605H5750 as 4lifeH5397 is in me, And the 56breathH5397 of GodH433 is in my nostrilsH639,4My lipsH8193 certainlyH518 will not speakH1696 unjustlyH5767, NorH518 will 7my tongueH3956 mutterH1897 deceitH7423.5FarH2486 be it from me that I should declareH6663 you rightH6663; UntilH5704 I dieH1478, 8I will not 9giveH5493 upH5493 my integrityH8538.6I have 10keptH2388 holdH2388 of my righteousnessH6666 and will not letH7503 it goH7503. My heartH3824 does not rebukeH2778 anyH4480 of my daysH3117.

The State of the Godless

7“May my enemyH340 be as the wickedH7563, And 11my opponentH6965 as the criminalH5767.8For whatH4100 is 12the hopeH8615 of the godlessH2611 whenH3588 he makesH1214 anH1214 endH1214 of life, WhenH3588 GodH433 requiresH7592 13his 14lifeH5315?9Will GodH410 15hearH8085 his cryH6818 WhenH3588 16distressH6869 comesH935 upon him?10OrH518 will he takeH6026 17pleasureH6026 in the AlmightyH7706? Will he callH7121 on GodH433 at allH3605 timesH6256?11I will instructH3384 you in the 18powerH3027 of GodH410; WhatH834 is with the AlmightyH7706 I will not concealH3582.12BeholdH2005, allH3605 of you have seenH2372 it; WhyH4100 thenH2088 do you talkH1891 ofH1891 nothingH1891H1892?

13“ThisH2088 is 19the portionH2506 of a wickedH7563 personH120 from GodH410, And the inheritanceH5159 which 20tyrantsH6184 receiveH3947 from the AlmightyH7706:14ThoughH518 his sonsH1121 areH7235 manyH7235, 21they are destined 22for the swordH2719; And his 23descendantsH6631 will not beH7646 satisfiedH7646 with breadH3899.15His survivorsH8300 will be buriedH6912 because of the plagueH4194, And 24their 25widowsH490 will not be able to weepH1058.16ThoughH518 he pilesH6651 upH6651 silverH3701 like dustH6083, And preparesH3559 garmentsH4403 as plentiful as the clayH2563,17He may prepareH3559 it, 26but the righteousH6662 will wearH3847 it And the innocentH5355 will divideH2505 the silverH3701.18He has builtH1129 his 27houseH1004 like the 28spider’s web, Or a hutH5521 which the watchmanH5341 has madeH6213.19He liesH7901 downH7901 richH6223, but neverH3808 29againH3254; He opensH6491 his eyesH5869, and 30it noH369 longer existsH369.2031TerrorsH1091 overtakeH5381 him like a floodH4325; A stormH5492 stealsH1589 him awayH1589 32in the nightH3915.21The eastH6921 33windH6921 carriesH5375 him away, and he is goneH1980; For it sweepsH8175 him 34awayH8175 from his placeH4725.22For it will hurlH7993 at him 35withoutH3808 mercyH2550; He will certainlyH1272 try to 36fleeH1272 from its 37powerH3027.23People will 38clapH5606 their handsH3709 at him, And will 39whistleH8319 at him from their placesH4725.
