"
As God lives, who has taken
away
my
right,
The Almighty, who has made
my soul bitter.
“
As surely
as
God lives, who has deprived
me
of
justice—
the Almighty, who has embittered
my soul —
(For
the
length
of
my life
is still in
me ,
And the spirit
of God is
in my nostrils );
as
long
as
my breath
is still within
me and the breath
of God remains
in my nostrils ,
Surely
my lips shall
not speak unrighteousness
, Neither
shall
my tongue utter deceit.
my lips will
not speak wickedness
, and
my tongue will
not
utter deceit.

it
from
me
that
I should
justify
you .
Until
I
die
I will not
put
away
my integrity from
me
.
I will
never
say
that
you are
right;
I will maintain
my integrity until
I

fast
to my righteousness ,
and will
not
let it
go. My
heart
shall
not
reproach
me
so
long as I live.

cling
to my righteousness and never
let go. As

the wicked ,
Let
him
who
rises
up
against
me
be
as
the unrighteous
.
May
my enemy be like
the wicked and
my
opponent
like
the unjust
.
For what is the hope of the godless ,
when he is cut off, When God takes away his life?

When trouble
comes on
him?

comes upon
him?
Will he delight himself
in the Almighty ,
And
call on
God at all times?

call upon
God at all times?

you about
the hand
of God. That
which
is
with
the
Almighty
will
I not conceal.

you in

Behold,
all of you have seen it yourselves ;
Why then have
you become
altogether
vain
?
Surely
all of you have seen it for
yourselves .
Why then do
you keep
up
this
empty
talk
?

are multiplied
, it
is
for the sword .

not
be
satisfied
with
bread

destined
for the sword ;
and
his offspring will
never
have
enough
food

Though he heap
up silver as
the
dust ,
And prepare
clothing
as
the
clay ;
Though he heaps
up silver like
dust and piles
up
a
wardrobe
like
clay ,
He may
prepare
it
, but
the just
shall
put
it
on
, And the innocent shall
divide
the
silver
.

he lays
up
, the righteous
will

He
builds
his
house
as
the moth
, As
a booth
which
the
watchman makes
.

he
built
is
like
a
moth’s
cocoon
, like
a hut
set
up
by
a
watchman.
He lies down rich
, but he
shall
not
do so again.
He opens his eyes, and
he
is not
.

he opens his eyes, all
is gone

Terrors overtake him like waters
; A tempest steals
him away in the night.

flood
; a tempest sweeps
him away in the night.
The east wind carries him away, and he departs
; It sweeps him out of his place.
The east wind carries him away, and he is
gone
; it sweeps him out of his place.
For
it hurls at
him ,
and
does
not
spare,
As he flees away
from his
hand
.
It hurls itself
against
him without
mercy
as he flees headlong
from its
power
.
Men
shall
clap
their
hands at him ,
And shall
hiss
him out of his place.
It
claps
its
hands at him and hisses
him out of his place.
