Job 27




dourh@Job:27:1 @ Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:

dourh@Job:27:2 @ As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who hath brought my soul to bitterness,

dourh@Job:27:3 @ As long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,

dourh@Job:27:4 @ My lips shall not speak iniquity, neither shall my tongue contrive lying.

dourh@Job:27:5 @ God forbid that I should judge you to be just: till I die I will not depart from my innocence.

dourh@Job:27:6 @ My justification, which I have begun to hold, I will not forsake: for my heart doth not reprehend me in all my life.

dourh@Job:27:7 @ Let my enemy be as the ungodly, and my adversary as the wicked one.

dourh@Job:27:8 @ For what is the hope of the hypocrite if through covetousness he take by violence, and God deliver not his soul?

dourh@Job:27:9 @ Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him?

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

dourh@Job:27:11 @ I will teach you by the hand of God, what the Almighty hath, and I will not conceal it.

dourh@Job:27:12 @ Behold you all know it, and why do you speak vain things without cause?

dourh@Job:27:13 @ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

dourh@Job:27:14 @ If his sons be multiplied, they shall be for the sword, and his grandsons shall not be filled with bread.

dourh@Job:27:15 @ They that shall remain of him, shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep.

dourh@Job:27:16 @ If he shall heap together silver as earth, and prepare raiment as clay,

dourh@Job:27:17 @ He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with it: and the innocent shall divide the silver.

dourh@Job:27:18 @ He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a booth.

dourh@Job:27:19 @ The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes and find nothing.

dourh@Job:27:20 @ Poverty like water shall take hold on him, a tempest shall oppress him in the night.

dourh@Job:27:21 @ A burning wind shall take him up, and carry him away, and as a whirlwind shall snatch him from his place.

dourh@Job:27:22 @ And he shall cast upon him, and shall not spare: out of his hand he would willingly flee.

dourh@Job:27:23 @ He shall clasp his hands upon him, and shall hiss at him, beholding his place.
