nkjv@Job:27:1 @ Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said:

nkjv@Job:27:2 @ "As God lives, who has taken away my justice, And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,

nkjv@Job:27:3 @ As long as my breath is in me, And the breath of God in my nostrils,

nkjv@Job:27:4 @ My lips will not speak wickedness, Nor my tongue utter deceit.

nkjv@Job:27:5 @ Far be it from me That I should say you are right; Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

nkjv@Job:27:6 @ My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; My heart shall not reproach me as long as I live.

nkjv@Job:27:7 @ "May my enemy be like the wicked, And he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.

nkjv@Job:27:8 @ For what is the hope of the hypocrite, Though he may gain much, If God takes away his life?

nkjv@Job:27:9 @ Will God hear his cry When trouble comes upon him?

nkjv@Job:27:10 @ Will he delight himself in the Almighty? Will he always call on God?

nkjv@Job:27:11 @ "I will teach you about the hand of God; What is with the Almighty I will not conceal.

nkjv@Job:27:12 @ Surely all of you have seen it; Why then do you behave with complete nonsense?

nkjv@Job:27:13 @ "This is the portion of a wicked man with God, And the heritage of oppressors, received from the Almighty:

nkjv@Job:27:14 @ If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword; And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

nkjv@Job:27:15 @ Those who survive him shall be buried in death, And their widows shall not weep,

nkjv@Job:27:16 @ Though he heaps up silver like dust, And piles up clothing like clay--

nkjv@Job:27:17 @ He may pile it up, but the just will wear it, And the innocent will divide the silver.

nkjv@Job:27:18 @ He builds his house like a moth, Like a booth which a watchman makes.

nkjv@Job:27:19 @ The rich man will lie down, But not be gathered up; He opens his eyes, And he is no more.

nkjv@Job:27:20 @ Terrors overtake him like a flood; A tempest steals him away in the night.

nkjv@Job:27:21 @ The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; It sweeps him out of his place.

nkjv@Job:27:22 @ It hurls against him and does not spare; He flees desperately from its power.

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