Job 27

1 And Job again took up his parable, and said,ERV — Job 27:1

2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;ERV — Job 27:2

3 (For my life is yet whole in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;)ERV — Job 27:3

4 Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit.ERV — Job 27:4

5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.ERV — Job 27:5

6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.ERV — Job 27:6

7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.ERV — Job 27:7

8 For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, when God taketh away his soul?ERV — Job 27:8

9 Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him?ERV — Job 27:9

10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?ERV — Job 27:10

11 I will teach you concerning the hand of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.ERV — Job 27:11

12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye become altogether vain?ERV — Job 27:12

13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.ERV — Job 27:13

14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.ERV — Job 27:14

15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death, and his widows shall make no lamentation.ERV — Job 27:15

16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;ERV — Job 27:16

17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.ERV — Job 27:17

18 He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth which the keeper maketh.ERV — Job 27:18

19 He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.ERV — Job 27:19

20 Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest stealeth him away in the night.ERV — Job 27:20

21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; and it sweepeth him out of his place.ERV — Job 27:21

22 For God shall hurl at him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.ERV — Job 27:22

23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.ERV — Job 27:23
