Job 27

1 And Job addeth to lift up his simile, and saith: —YLT — Job 27:1

2 God liveth! He turned aside my judgment, And the Mighty — He made my soul bitter.YLT — Job 27:2

3 For all the while my breath [is] in me, And the spirit of God in my nostrils.YLT — Job 27:3

4 My lips do not speak perverseness, And my tongue doth not utter deceit.YLT — Job 27:4

5 Pollution to me — if I justify you, Till I expire I turn not aside mine integrity from me.YLT — Job 27:5

6 On my righteousness I have laid hold, And I do not let it go, My heart doth not reproach me while I live.YLT — Job 27:6

7 As the wicked is my enemy, And my withstander as the perverse.YLT — Job 27:7

8 For what [is] the hope of the profane, When He doth cut off? When God doth cast off his soul?YLT — Job 27:8

9 His cry doth God hear, When distress cometh on him?YLT — Job 27:9

10 On the Mighty doth he delight himself? Call God at all times?YLT — Job 27:10

11 I shew you by the hand of God, That which [is] with the Mighty I hide not.YLT — Job 27:11

12 Lo, ye — all of you — have seen, And why [is] this — ye are altogether vain?YLT — Job 27:12

13 This [is] the portion of wicked man with God, And the inheritance of terrible ones From the Mighty they receive.YLT — Job 27:13

14 If his sons multiply — for them [is] a sword. And his offspring [are] not satisfied [with] bread.YLT — Job 27:14

15 His remnant in death are buried, And his widows do not weep.YLT — Job 27:15

16 If he heap up as dust silver, And as clay prepare clothing,YLT — Job 27:16

17 He prepareth — and the righteous putteth [it] on, And the silver the innocent doth apportion.YLT — Job 27:17

18 He hath built as a moth his house, And as a booth a watchman hath made.YLT — Job 27:18

19 Rich he lieth down, and he is not gathered, His eyes he hath opened, and he is not.YLT — Job 27:19

20 Overtake him as waters do terrors, By night stolen him away hath a whirlwind.YLT — Job 27:20

21 Take him up doth an east wind, and he goeth, And it frighteneth him from his place,YLT — Job 27:21

22 And it casteth at him, and doth not spare, From its hand he diligently fleeth.YLT — Job 27:22

23 It clappeth at him its hands, And it hisseth at him from his place.YLT — Job 27:23
