Moreover Job[H347]continued[H3254] his parable[H4912], and said[H559],
2
As God[H410]liveth[H2416], who hath taken away[H5493] my judgment[H4941]; and the Almighty[H7706], who hath vexed[H4843] my soul[H5315];
3
All the while[H5750] my breath[H5397] is in me, and the spirit[H7307] of God[H433] is in my nostrils[H639];
4
My lips[H8193] shall not speak[H1696]wickedness[H5766], nor my tongue[H3956]utter[H1897]deceit[H7423].
5
God forbid[H2486] that I should justify[H6663] you: till I die[H1478] I will not remove[H5493] mine integrity[H8538] from me.
6
My righteousness[H6666] I hold[H2388] fast, and will not let it go[H7503]: my heart[H3824] shall not reproach[H2778] me so long as I live[H3117].
7
Let mine enemy[H341] be as the wicked[H7563], and he that riseth up[H6965] against me as the unrighteous[H5767].
8
For what is the hope[H8615] of the hypocrite[H2611], though he hath gained[H1214], when God[H433] taketh away[H7953] his soul?[H5315]
9
Will God[H410]hear[H8085] his cry[H6818] when trouble[H6869]cometh[H935] upon him?
10
Will he delight[H6026] himself in the Almighty?[H7706] will he always[H6256]call[H7121] upon God?[H433]
11
I will teach[H3384] you by the hand[H3027] of God[H410]: that which is with the Almighty[H7706] will I not conceal[H3582].
12
Behold, all ye yourselves have seen[H2372] it; why then are ye thus altogether[H1892]vain?[H1891]
13
This is the portion[H2506] of a wicked[H7563]man[H120] with God[H410], and the heritage[H5159] of oppressors[H6184], which they shall receive[H3947] of the Almighty[H7706].
14
If his children[H1121] be multiplied[H7235], it is for[H3926] the sword[H2719]: and his offspring[H6631] shall not be satisfied[H7646] with bread[H3899].
15
Those that remain[H8300] of him shall be buried[H6912] in death[H4194]: and his widows[H490] shall not weep[H1058].
16
Though he heap up[H6651]silver[H3701] as the dust[H6083], and prepare[H3559]raiment[H4403] as the clay[H2563];
17
He may prepare[H3559] it, but the just[H6662] shall put it on[H3847], and the innocent[H5355] shall divide[H2505] the silver[H3701].
18
He buildeth[H1129] his house[H1004] as a moth[H6211], and as a booth[H5521] that the keeper[H5341]maketh[H6213].
19
The rich[H6223] man shall lie down[H7901], but he shall not be gathered[H622]: he openeth[H6491] his eyes[H5869], and he is not.
20Terrors[H1091] take hold[H5381] on him as waters[H4325], a tempest[H5492] stealeth him away[H1589] in the night[H3915].
21
The east[H6921] wind carrieth him away[H5375], and he departeth[H3212]: and as a storm hurleth[H8175] him out of his place[H4725].
22
For God shall cast[H7993] upon him, and not spare[H2550]: he would fain[H1272]flee[H1272] out of his hand[H3027].
23
Men shall clap[H5606] their hands[H3709] at him, and shall hiss[H8319] him out of his place[H4725].
