Job 27

Job persists in asserting his own innocence, and that hypocrites will be punished in the end.

⁠
[1]
⁠
Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:
[2]
⁠
As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who hath brought my soul to bitterness,
[3]
⁠
As long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,
[4]
⁠
My lips shall not speak iniquity, neither shall my tongue contrive lying.
[5]
⁠
God forbid that I should judge you to be just: till I die I will not depart from my innocence.
⁠
[6]
⁠
My justification, which I have begun to hold, I will not forsake: for my heart doth not reprehend me in all my life.
[7]
⁠
Let my enemy be as the ungodly, and my adversary as the wicked one.
[8]
⁠
For what is the hope of the hypocrite if through covetousness he take by violence, and God deliver not his soul?
[9]
⁠
Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him?
[10]
⁠
Or can he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?
⁠
[11]
⁠
I will teach you by the hand of God, what the Almighty hath, and I will not conceal it.
[12]
⁠
Behold you all know it, and why do you speak vain things without cause?
[13]
⁠
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
[14]
⁠
If his sons be multiplied, they shall be for the sword, and his grandsons shall not be filled with bread.
[15]
⁠
They that shall remain of him, shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep.
⁠
[16]
⁠
If he shall heap together silver as earth, and prepare raiment as clay,
[17]
⁠
He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with it: and the innocent shall divide the silver.
[18]
⁠
He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a booth.
[19]
⁠
The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes and find nothing.
[20]
⁠
Poverty like water shall take hold on him, a tempest shall oppress him in the night.
⁠
[21]
⁠
A burning wind shall take him up, and carry him away, and as a whirlwind shall snatch him from his place.
⁠
[22]
⁠
And he shall cast upon him, and shall not spare: out of his hand he would willingly flee.
[23]
⁠
He shall clasp his hands upon him, and shall hiss at him, beholding his place.
