vw@Job:27:1 @ Moreover Job continued on with his discourse, and said:

vw@Job:27:2 @ As the Mighty God lives, who has taken away my justice, and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,

vw@Job:27:3 @ as long as my breath is in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,

vw@Job:27:4 @ my lips will not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.

vw@Job:27:5 @ Far be it from me that I should say you are right. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

vw@Job:27:6 @ I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go; my heart does not reproach any of my days.

vw@Job:27:7 @ Let my enemy be like the wicked, and he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.

vw@Job:27:8 @ For what is the hope of the hypocrite when he is cut off, when God draws out his soul?

vw@Job:27:9 @ Will the Mighty God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?

vw@Job:27:10 @ Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he always call upon God?

vw@Job:27:11 @ I will teach you about the hand of the Mighty God; that which is with the Almighty I will not hide.

vw@Job:27:12 @ Behold, all of you have seen it. Why then are you vain like a vapor?

vw@Job:27:13 @ This is the portion of a wicked man with the Mighty God, and the heritage of the ruthless, received from the Almighty:

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

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

vw@Job:27:16 @ though he heaps up silver like dust, and provides clothing like clay;

vw@Job:27:17 @ he may provide it, but the just shall wear it, and the innocent shall divide up the silver.

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

vw@Job:27:19 @ The rich man shall lie down, but not be gathered up; he has opened his eyes, and is not.

vw@Job:27:20 @ Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest steals him away in the night.

vw@Job:27:21 @ The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it whirls him out of his place.

vw@Job:27:22 @ It casts him out without pity; he hastens to flee from its hand.

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