And Job again took up his parable, and said, |
2
|
As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul; |
3
|
(For my life is yet whole in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;) |
4
|
Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit. |
5
|
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me. |
6
|
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach {cf15i me} so long as I live. |
7
|
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous. |
8
|
For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, when God taketh away his soul? |
9
|
Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him? |
10
|
Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times? |
11
|
I will teach you concerning the hand of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. |
12
|
Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye become altogether vain? |
13
|
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty. |
14
|
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. |
15
|
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death, and his widows shall make no lamentation. |
16
|
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; |
17
|
He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. |
18
|
He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth which the keeper maketh. |
19
|
He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered; he openeth his eyes, and he is not. |
20
|
Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest stealeth him away in the night. |
21
|
The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; and it sweepeth him out of his place. |
22
|
For {cf15i God} shall hurl at him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. |
23
|
Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. |
