The Parable of Job ! Chapter 27 Job asserts his righteousness—When the wicked are buried in death, terrors will take hold of them. 1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, 2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed 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 awickedness, nor my tongue utter bdeceit. 5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not aremove mine bintegrity from me. 6 My arighteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not breproach me so long as I live. 7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. 8 For what is the ahope of the hypocrite, though he hath bgained, when God taketh away his soul? 9 Will God ahear his bcry when trouble cometh upon him? 10 Will he delight himself in the aAlmighty? will he always call upon God? 11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. 12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain? 13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of aoppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty. 14 If his achildren 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 in death: and his widows shall not weep. 16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare araiment 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 a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh. 19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not. 20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. 21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place. 22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. 23 Men shall aclap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
