Job 27

1 And Job continued his parable and said,DBY — Job 27:1

2 [As] God liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul,DBY — Job 27:2

3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,DBY — Job 27:3

4 My lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit!DBY — Job 27:4

5 Be it far from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not remove my blamelessness from me.DBY — Job 27:5

6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart reproacheth [me] not one of my days.DBY — Job 27:6

7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.DBY — Job 27:7

8 For what is the hope of the ungodly, when [God] cutteth him off, when God taketh away his soul?DBY — Job 27:8

9 Will God hear his cry when distress cometh upon him?DBY — Job 27:9

10 Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call upon God?DBY — Job 27:10

11 I will teach you concerning the hand of God; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal.DBY — Job 27:11

12 Behold, ye yourselves have all seen [it]; and why are ye thus altogether vain?DBY — Job 27:12

13 This is the portion of the wicked man with God, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from the Almighty:DBY — Job 27:13

14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword, and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread;DBY — Job 27:14

15 Those that remain of him shall be buried by death, and his widows shall not weep.DBY — Job 27:15

16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;DBY — Job 27:16

17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on; and the innocent shall divide the silver.DBY — Job 27:17

18 He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth that a keeper maketh.DBY — Job 27:18

19 He lieth down rich, but will do so no more; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.DBY — Job 27:19

20 Terrors overtake him like waters; a whirlwind stealeth him away in the night.DBY — Job 27:20

21 The east wind carrieth him away and he is gone; and as a storm it hurleth him out of his place.DBY — Job 27:21

22 And [God] shall cast upon him and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.DBY — Job 27:22

23 [Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.DBY — Job 27:23
