Job 27

1. (Job 27:1) Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2. (Job 27:2) As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
3. (Job 27:3) All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
4. (Job 27:4) My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
5. (Job 27:5) God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
6. (Job 27:6) My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
7. (Job 27:7) Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
8. (Job 27:8) For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
9. (Job 27:9) Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
10. (Job 27:10) Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
11. (Job 27:11) I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
12. (Job 27:12) Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
13. (Job 27:13) This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
14. (Job 27:14) If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15. (Job 27:15) Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
16. (Job 27:16) Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
17. (Job 27:17) He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18. (Job 27:18) He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
19. (Job 27:19) The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
20. (Job 27:20) Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21. (Job 27:21) The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
22. (Job 27:22) For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
23. (Job 27:23) Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
