acv@Job:27:1 @ And Job again took up his parable, and said,

acv@Job:27:2 @ As God lives, who has taken away my right, and the Almighty, who has vexed my soul.

acv@Job:27:3 @ (For my life is yet whole in me. And the spirit of God is in my nostrils.)

acv@Job:27:4 @ Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor shall my tongue utter deceit.

acv@Job:27:5 @ Far be it from me that I should justify you. Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

acv@Job:27:6 @ I hold fast my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live.

acv@Job:27:7 @ Let my enemy be as the wicked, and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.

acv@Job:27:8 @ For what is the hope of the profane, though he gets him gain, when God takes away his soul?

acv@Job:27:9 @ Will God hear his cry when trouble comes upon him?

acv@Job:27:10 @ Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?

acv@Job:27:11 @ I will teach you concerning the hand of God. That which is with the Almighty I will not conceal.

acv@Job:27:12 @ Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it. Why then have ye become altogether vain?

acv@Job:27:13 @ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.

acv@Job:27:14 @ If his sons be multiplied, it is for the sword. And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

acv@Job:27:15 @ Those who remain of him shall be buried in death, and his widows shall make no lamentation.

acv@Job:27:16 @ Though he heaps up silver as the dust, and prepares raiment as the clay,

acv@Job:27:17 @ he may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

acv@Job:27:18 @ He builds his house as the moth, and as a booth which the keeper makes.

acv@Job:27:19 @ He lays down rich, but he shall not be gathered [to his fathers]. He opens his eyes, and he is not.

acv@Job:27:20 @ Terrors overtake him like waters. A tempest steals him away in the night.

acv@Job:27:21 @ The east wind carries him away, and he departs, and it sweeps him out of his place.

acv@Job:27:22 @ For [God] shall hurl at him, and not spare. He would gladly flee out of his hand.

acv@Job:27:23 @ Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
