  • 1. Moreouer Iob continued his parable, and sayd,
  • 2. As God liueth, who hath taken away my iudgment, and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soule;
  • 3. All the while my breath is in mee, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
  • 4. My lips shall not speake wickednesse, nor my tongue vtter deceit.
  • 5. God forbid that I should iustifie you: till I die, I will not remoue my integritie from me.
  • 6. My righteousnesse I hold fast, and will not let it goe: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I liue.
  • 7. Let mine enemie be as the wicked, and he that riseth vp against me, as the vnrighteous.
  • 8. For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soule?
  • 9. Will God heare his cry, when trouble commeth vpon him?
  • 10. Will he delight himselfe in the Almightie? will hee alwayes call vpon God?
  • 11. I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almightie, will I not conceale.
  • 12. Behold, all ye your selues haue seene it, why then are yee thus altogether vaine?
  • 13. This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressours which they shall receiue of the Almightie.
  • 14. If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offpring shall not be satisfied with bread.
  • 15. Those that remaine of him shall bee buried in death: and his widowes shall not weepe.
  • 16. Though he heape vp siluer as the dust, and prepare rayment as the clay:
  • 17. He may prepare it, but the iust shall put it on, and the innocent shall diuide the siluer.
  • 18. He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
  • 19. The rich man shall lie downe, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not:
  • 20. Terrours take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
  • 21. The East winde carieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storme hurleth him out of his place.
  • 22. For God shall cast vpon him, and not spare: hee would faine flee out of his hand.
  • 23. Men shall clap their handes at him, and shall hisse him out of his place.
