# Job 27 (New King James Version)
|
|
Job Maintains His Integrity
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 27
|
|
###### 1 Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said:
|
|
|
|
###### 2 "_As_ God lives, _who_ has taken away my justice,
|
|
And the Almighty, _who_ has made my soul bitter,
|
|
|
|
###### 3 As long as my breath _is_ in me,
|
|
And the breath of God in my nostrils,
|
|
|
|
###### 4 My lips will not speak wickedness,
|
|
Nor my tongue utter deceit.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Far be it from me
|
|
That I should say you are right;
|
|
Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go;
|
|
My heart shall not reproach _me_ as long as I live.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 "May my enemy be like the wicked,
|
|
And he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite,
|
|
Though he may gain _much,_
|
|
If God takes away his life?
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Will God hear his cry
|
|
When trouble comes upon him?
|
|
|
|
###### 10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
|
|
Will he always call on God?
|
|
|
|
###### 11 "I will teach you about the hand of God;
|
|
What _is_ with the Almighty I will not conceal.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 Surely all of you have seen _it;_
|
|
Why then do you behave with complete nonsense?
|
|
|
|
###### 13 "This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
|
|
And the heritage of oppressors, received from the Almighty:
|
|
|
|
###### 14 If his children are multiplied, _it is_ for the sword;
|
|
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
|
|
|
|
###### 15 Those who survive him shall be buried in death,
|
|
And their widows shall not weep,
|
|
|
|
###### 16 Though he heaps up silver like dust,
|
|
And piles up clothing like clay--
|
|
|
|
###### 17 He may pile _it_ up, but the just will wear _it,_
|
|
And the innocent will divide the silver.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 He builds his house like a moth,
|
|
Like a booth _which_ a watchman makes.
|
|
|
|
###### 19 The rich man will lie down,
|
|
But not be gathered _up;_
|
|
He opens his eyes,
|
|
And he _is_ no more.
|
|
|
|
###### 20 Terrors overtake him like a flood;
|
|
A tempest steals him away in the night.
|
|
|
|
###### 21 The east wind carries him away, and he is gone;
|
|
It sweeps him out of his place.
|
|
|
|
###### 22 It hurls against him and does not spare;
|
|
He flees desperately from its power.
|
|
|
|
###### 23 _Men_ shall clap their hands at him,
|
|
And shall hiss him out of his place.
