bes@Job:27:1 @ And Job further continued and said in his (note:)Gr. preface(:note) parable,

bes@Job:27:2 @ As God lives, who has thus judged me; and the Almighty, who has embittered my soul;

bes@Job:27:3 @ verily, while my breath is yet in me, and the breath of God which remains to me is in my nostrils,

bes@Job:27:4 @ my lips shall not speak evil words, neither shall my soul meditate unrighteous thoughts.

bes@Job:27:5 @ Far be it from me that I should justify you till I die; for I will not let go my innocence,

bes@Job:27:6 @ but keeping fast to my righteousness I will by no means let it go: for I am not conscious to myself of having done any thing (note:)Compare Lu strkjv@23:41(:note) amiss.

bes@Job:27:7 @ Nay rather, but let mine enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, and they that rise up against me, as the destruction of transgressors.

bes@Job:27:8 @ For what is the hope of the ungodly, that he holds to it? will he indeed trust in the Lord and be saved?

bes@Job:27:9 @ Will God hear his prayer? or, when distress has come upon him,

bes@Job:27:10 @ has he any confidence before him? or will God hear him as he calls upon him?

bes@Job:27:11 @ Yet now I will tell you what is in the hand of the Lord: I will not lie concerning the things which are with the Almighty.

bes@Job:27:12 @ Behold, ye all know that ye are adding vanity to vanity.

bes@Job:27:13 @ This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of oppressors shall come upon them from the Almighty.

bes@Job:27:14 @ And if their children be many, they shall be for slaughter: and if they grow up, they shall beg.

bes@Job:27:15 @ And they that survive of him shall utterly perish, and no one shall pity their widows.

bes@Job:27:16 @ Even if he should gather silver as earth, and prepare gold as clay;

bes@Job:27:17 @ All these things shall the righteous gain, and the truehearted shall possess his wealth.

bes@Job:27:18 @ And his house is gone like moths, and like a spider’s web.

bes@Job:27:19 @ The rich man shall lie down, and shall not continue: he has opened his eyes, and he is not.

bes@Job:27:20 @ Pains have come upon him as water, and darkness has carried him away by night.

bes@Job:27:21 @ And a burning wind shall catch him, and he shall depart, and it shall utterly drive him out of his place.

bes@Job:27:22 @ And God shall cast trouble upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
