Job
Affirms His Righteousness |
|
|
 |
| Job 27:1 |
|
Then Job continued his discourse and said, |
|
|
|
|
| Job 27:2 |
|
"As God lives, who has taken away my right,
And the Almighty, who has embittered my soul, |
| |
|
|
| Job 27:3 |
|
For as long as life is in me, And the breath
of God is in my nostrils, |
| |
|
|
| Job 27:4 |
|
My lips certainly will not speak unjustly, Nor
will my tongue mutter deceit. |
| |
|
|
| Job 27:5 |
|
"Far be it from me that I should declare you
right; Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me. |
| |
|
|
| Job 27:6 |
|
"I hold fast my righteousness and will not let
it go. My heart does not reproach any of my days. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The State of the Godless |
| |
|
|
| Job 27:7 |
|
"May my enemy be as the wicked And my opponent
as the unjust. |
|
|
|
| Job 27:8 |
|
"For what is the hope of the godless when he
is cut off, When God requires his life? |
|
|
|
| Job 27:9 |
|
"Will God hear his cry When distress comes upon
him? |
|
|
|
| Job 27:10 |
|
"Will he take delight in the Almighty? Will
he call on God at all times? |
|
|
|
| Job 27:11 |
|
"I will instruct you in the power of God; What
is with the Almighty I will not conceal. |
|
|
|
| Job 27:12 |
|
"Behold, all of you have seen it; Why then do
you act foolishly? |
|
|
|
| Job 27:13 |
|
"This is the portion of a wicked man from God,
And the inheritance which tyrants receive from the Almighty. |
|
|
|
| Job 27:14 |
|
"Though his sons are many, they are destined
for the sword; And his descendants will not be satisfied with bread. |
|
|
|
| Job 27:15 |
|
"His survivors will be buried because of the
plague, And their widows will not be able to weep. |
|
|
|
| Job 27:16 |
|
"Though he piles up silver like dust And prepares
garments as plentiful as the clay, |
|
|
|
| Job 27:17 |
|
He may prepare it, but the just will wear it
And the innocent will divide the silver. |
|
|
|
| Job 27:18 |
|
"He has built his house like the spider's web,
Or as a hut which the watchman has made. |
|
|
|
| Job 27:19 |
|
"He lies down rich, but never again; He opens
his eyes, and it is no longer. |
| |
|
|
| Job 27:20 |
|
"Terrors overtake him like a flood; A tempest
steals him away in the night. |
| |
|
|
| Job 27:21 |
|
"The east wind carries him away, and he is gone,
For it whirls him away from his place. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 27:22 |
|
"For it will hurl at him without sparing; He
will surely try to flee from its power. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 27:23 |
|
"Men will clap their hands at him And will hiss
him from his place. |
