Job:27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Moreover Job continued his parable ,
and said ,
*
As God liveth ,
who hath taken away my judgment ;
and the Almighty ,
who hath vexed my soul ;
*
All the while my breath is in me ,
and the spirit of God is in my nostrils ;
*
My lips shall not speak wickedness ,
nor my tongue utter deceit .
*
God forbid that I should justify you :
till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me .
*
My righteousness I hold fast ,
and will not let it go :
my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live .
*
Let mine enemy be as the wicked ,
and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous .
*
For what is the hope of the hypocrite ,
though he hath gained ,
when God taketh away his soul ?
*
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him ?
*
Will he delight himself in the Almighty ?
will he always call upon God ?
*
I will teach you by the hand of God :
that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal .
*
Behold ,
all ye yourselves have seen it ;
why then are ye thus altogether vain ?
*
This is the portion of a wicked man with God ,
and the heritage of oppressors ,
which they shall receive of the Almighty .
*
If his children be multiplied ,
it is for the sword :
and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread .
*
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death :
and his widows shall not weep .
*
Though he heap up silver as the dust ,
and prepare raiment as the clay ;
*
He may prepare it ,
but the just shall put it on ,
and the innocent shall divide the silver .
*
He buildeth his house as a moth ,
and as a booth that the keeper maketh .
*
The rich man shall lie down ,
but he shall not be gathered :
he openeth his eyes ,
and he is not .
*
Terrors take hold on him as waters ,
a tempest stealeth him away in the night .
*
The east wind carrieth him away ,
and he departeth :
and as a storm hurleth him out of his place .
*
For God shall cast upon him ,
and not spare :
he would fain flee out of his hand .
*
Men shall clap their hands at him ,
and shall hiss him out of his place .
