- 1. ¶ MOREOVER Job continued his parable, and said,
- 2. As God lives, who has wronged my judgment, and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter;
- 3. As long as my soul is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
- 4. My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
- 5. God forbid that I should do evil, till I die I will not remove my innocence from me.
- 6. My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
- 7. ¶ Let my enemy be as the ungodly, and he that hates me as the wicked.
- 8. For though he has accumulated riches, what is the hope of the godless at the time when God takes away his life?
- 9. For God will not hear his prayer when trouble comes upon him.
- 10. But if he should trust in the Almighty, and always call upon God, God will hear him and answer him.
- 11. ¶ But as for you, I will deliver you into the hand of God; so that your works may not be hid from him.
- 12. Behold, all of you have seen it; why then do you boast in vain?
- 13. This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive from the Almighty.
- 14. If their children are multiplied, it is for the sword; and their offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
- 15. Those who remain of them shall be buried in death; and their widows shall not weep over them.
- 16. Though they heap up silver like dust and accumulate clothes like clay,
- 17. They may pile them up, yet the righteous shall wear them, and shall also divide their silver.
- 18. For the wicked has built his house upon a spider’s web, and like a booth he had made his shelter.
- 19. The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not rise again; he opens his eyes, and he is gone.
- 20. Terrors overtake him like swift water, and like a tempest that rages.
- 21. The east wind shall carry him away in the night, and he is gone; and shall hurl him out of his place.
- 22. For God shall cast him out without pity, and he cannot escape out of his hand.
- 23. He shall smite him with his hand, and shall hiss against him from his dwelling place.
