¹ JOB AGAIN took up his discourse and said, ² As God lives, Who has taken away my right and denied me justice, and the Almighty, Who has vexed and embittered my life, ³ As long as my life is still whole within me, and the breath of God is in my nostrils, ⁴ My lips shall not speak untruth, nor shall my tongue utter deceit. ⁵ God forbid that I should justify you--saying you are right ; till I die, I will not put away my integrity from me. ⁶ My uprightness and my right standing with God I hold fast and will not let them go; my heart does not reproach me for any of my days and it shall not reproach me as long as I live. ⁷ Let my enemy be as the wicked, and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous. ⁸ For what is the hope of the godless and polluted, even though he has gained , when God cuts him off and takes away his life? ⁹ Will God hear his cry when trouble comes upon him? ¹⁰ Will he take delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times? ¹¹ I will teach you regarding the hand and handiwork of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. ¹² Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain ? ¹³ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage which oppressors shall receive from the Almighty: ¹⁴ If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring will not have sufficient bread. ¹⁵ Those who survive him, will bury, and widows will make no lamentation. ¹⁶ Though he heaps up silver like dust and piles up clothing like clay, ¹⁷ He may prepare it, but the just will wear it, and the innocent will divide the silver. ¹⁸ He builds his house like a moth or a spider, like a booth which a watchman makes . ¹⁹ will lie down rich, but does it not again; he opens his eyes, and is gone. ²⁰ Terrors overtake him like a flood; a windstorm steals him away in the night. ²¹ The east wind lifts him up, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place. ²² For hurl at him without pity and unsparingly ; he flees in haste before His power. ²³ men to clap their hands at him and hiss him out of his place.
