Job 27
Revised Version 1895
1And JobH347 againH3254 tookH5375 upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, 2As GodH410 liveth, who hath takenH5493 awayH5493 my rightH4941; and the AlmightyH7706, who hath vexed my soulH5315; 3(For my lifeH5750 is yet wholeH3605 in meH3605, and the spiritH7307 of GodH433 is in my nostrilsH639;) 4SurelyH518 my lipsH8193 shall notH518 speakH1696 unrighteousnessH5766, neitherH518 shall my tongueH3956 utterH1897 deceitH7423. 5GodH3808 forbidH2486 that I should justifyH6663 youH518: tillH5704 I dieH1478 I will notH3808 putH5493 awayH5493 mineH4480 integrityH8538 from meH4480. 6My righteousnessH6666 I holdH2388 fastH2388, and will notH3808 letH7503 it goH7503: my heartH3824 shall notH3808 reproachH2778 meH2388 soH3808 longH3117 as I liveH3117. 7LetH1961 mine enemyH341 be as the wickedH7563, and letH1961 him that riseth upH6965 against meH1961 be as the unrighteous. 8For whatH4100 is the hopeH8615 of the godlessH2611, thoughH3588 he getH1214 him gainH1214, when GodH433 taketh away his soulH5315? 9Will GodH410 hearH8085 his cryH6818, when troubleH6869 cometh uponH5921 him? 10Will he delightH6026 himselfH7706 in the AlmightyH7706, and callH7121 uponH5921 GodH433 at allH3605 timesH6256? 11I will teachH3384 youH834 concerning the handH3027 of GodH410; that whichH834 is with the AlmightyH7706 will I notH3808 concealH3582. 12BeholdH2005, allH3605 ye yourselves have seenH2372 it; whyH4100 then are ye become altogetherH3605 vainH1892? 13This is the portionH2506 of a wickedH7563 manH120 with GodH410, and the heritageH5159 of oppressors, whichH2088 they receiveH3947 from the AlmightyH7706. 14IfH518 his childrenH1121 be multipliedH7235, it is for the swordH2719; and his offspringH6631 shall notH3808 be satisfiedH7646 with breadH3899. 15Those that remainH3808 of him shall be buriedH6912 in deathH4194, and his widowsH490 shall make noH3808 lamentation. 16ThoughH518 he heapH6083 upH6651 silverH3701 as the dustH6083, and prepareH3559 raimentH4403 as the clay; 17He may prepareH3559 it, but the justH6662 shall putH3847 it on, and the innocentH5355 shall divideH2505 the silverH3701. 18He buildeth his houseH1004 as the mothH6211, and as a boothH5521 whichH1004 the keeperH5341 maketh. 19He lieth downH7901 richH6223, but he shall notH3808 be gatheredH622; he openeth his eyesH5869, and he is notH3808. 20TerrorsH1091 overtakeH5381 him like watersH4325; a tempest stealeth him awayH1589 in the nightH3915. 21The eastH6921 windH6921 carrieth him awayH5375, and he departeth; and it sweepeth him outH4725 of his placeH4725. 22For GodH3808 shall hurlH7993 at him, and notH3808 spareH2550: he would fain fleeH1272 outH5921 of his handH3027. 23Men shall clapH5606 their handsH3709 at him, and shall hissH8319 him outH5921 of his placeH4725.
