- 1. And Job continued his parable and said,
- 2. [As] �God liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul,
- 3. All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of +God is in my nostrils,
- 4. My lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit!
- 5. Be it far from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not remove my blamelessness from me.
- 6. My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart reproacheth [me] not one of my days.
- 7. Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
- 8. For what is the hope of the ungodly, when [God] cutteth him off, when +God taketh away his soul?
- 9. Will �God hear his cry when distress cometh upon him?
- 10. Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call upon +God?
- 11. I will teach you concerning the hand of �God; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
- 12. Behold, ye yourselves have all seen [it]; and why are ye thus altogether vain?
- 13. This is the portion of the wicked man with �God, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from the Almighty: --
- 14. If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword, and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread;
- 15. Those that remain of him shall be buried by death, and his widows shall not weep.
- 16. Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
- 17. He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on; and the innocent shall divide the silver.
- 18. He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth that a keeper maketh.
- 19. He lieth down rich, but will do so no more; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
- 20. Terrors overtake him like waters; a whirlwind stealeth him away in the night.
- 21. The east wind carrieth him away and he is gone; and as a storm it hurleth him out of his place.
- 22. And [God] shall cast upon him and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
- 23. [Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
