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