Job continued
his discourse:
Job again
took
up
his parable,
and
said,
“As
surely
as God lives, who has deprived
me
of
justice—
the Almighty, who has embittered
my soul —
"
As God lives, who has taken
away
my
right,
The Almighty, who has made
my soul bitter.
as
long
as
my breath
is still within
me and the breath
of God remains
in my nostrils ,
(For
the
length
of
my life
is still in
me ,
And the spirit
of God is
in my nostrils );
my lips will
not speak wickedness
, and
my tongue will
not
utter deceit.
Surely
my lips shall
not speak unrighteousness
, Neither
shall
my tongue utter deceit.
I
will
never
say
that you are
right;
I will maintain
my integrity until
I
die
.
Far
be
it
from
me
that I
should
justify
you .
Until
I die
I
will not
put
away
my integrity from
me
.
I will
cling
to my righteousness and never
let go. As
long as I live ,
my
conscience
will
not
accuse
me
.
I hold
fast
to my righteousness ,
and will
not
let it
go. My
heart
shall
not
reproach
me
so
long as I live.
May
my enemy be like
the wicked and
my
opponent
like
the unjust
.
"Let
my enemy be as
the wicked ,
Let
him
who
rises
up
against
me
be
as
the unrighteous
.
For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
For what is the hope of the godless ,
when he is cut off, When God takes away his life?
Will God hear his cry when distress
comes upon
him?
Will God hear his cry ,
When trouble
comes on
him?
Will he delight in the Almighty ?
Will
he
call upon
God at all times?
Will he delight himself
in the Almighty ,
And
call on
God at all times?
I will instruct
you in
the power
of God. I
will not conceal the
ways
of
the
Almighty
.
I will teach
you about
the hand
of God. That
which
is
with
the
Almighty
will I
not conceal.
Surely
all of you have seen it for
yourselves .
Why then do
you keep
up
this
empty
talk
?
Behold,
all of you have seen it yourselves ;
Why then have
you become
altogether
vain
?
This is the wicked
man’s
portion from
God —
the heritage the
ruthless
receive from the Almighty.
"
This is the portion of
a
wicked
man
with
God ,
The heritage of
oppressors,
which
they
receive from the Almighty.
Though
his sons
are many
, they
are
destined
for the sword ;
and
his offspring will
never
have
enough
food
.
If
his children
are multiplied
, it
is
for the sword .
His offspring shall
not
be
satisfied
with
bread
.
His
survivors
will
be buried by
the
plague,
and
their
widows will
not
weep
for
them
.
Those
who
remain
of
him
shall
be buried in
death.
His
widows shall
make
no
lamentation
.
Though he heaps
up silver like
dust and piles
up
a
wardrobe
like
clay ,
Though he heap
up silver as
the
dust ,
And prepare
clothing
as
the
clay ;
what
he lays
up
, the righteous
will
wear
, and his
silver
will
be
divided
by
the innocent.
He may
prepare
it
, but
the just
shall
put
it
on
, And the innocent shall
divide
the
silver
.
The
house
he built
is
like
a
moth’s
cocoon
, like
a
hut
set
up
by
a watchman.
He builds
his
house
as
the
moth
, As
a booth
which
the
watchman makes
.
He lies down wealthy
, but will
do so no
more;
when
he opens his eyes, all
is gone
.
He lies down rich
, but he
shall
not
do so again.
He opens his eyes, and
he
is not
.
Terrors overtake him like a
flood
; a tempest sweeps
him away in the night.
Terrors overtake him like waters
; A tempest steals
him away in the night.
The east wind carries him away, and he is
gone
; it sweeps him out of his place.
The east wind carries him away, and he departs
; It sweeps him out of his place.
It hurls itself
against
him without
mercy
as he flees headlong
from its
power
.
For
it hurls at
him ,
and
does
not
spare,
As he flees away
from his
hand
.
It
claps
its
hands at him and hisses
him out of his place.
Men
shall
clap
their
hands at him ,
And shall
hiss
him out of his place.
