Holy Bible
(King James Version)
Job:
Chapter 27
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 wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
5. God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove
mine integrity from me.
6. My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall
not reproach 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 hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when
God taketh away his soul?
9. Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
10. Will he delight himself in the Almighty? 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
oppressors, which they shall receive of 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 in death: and his widows
shall not weep.
16. Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment 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 clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his
place.
