Moreover Job{H347} continued{H3254}{(H8686)}{H5375}{(H8800)} his parable{H4912}, and said{H559}{(H8799)},

As God{H410} liveth{H2416}, who hath taken away{H5493}{(H8689)} my judgment{H4941}; and the Almighty{H7706}, who hath vexed{H4843}{(H8689)} my soul{H5315};

All the while{H5750} my breath{H5397} is in me, and the spirit{H7307} of God{H433} is in my nostrils{H639};

My lips{H8193} shall not speak{H1696}{(H8762)} wickedness{H5766}, nor my tongue{H3956} utter{H1897}{(H8799)} deceit{H7423}.

God forbid{H2486} that I should justify{H6663}{(H8686)} you: till I die{H1478}{(H8799)} I will not remove{H5493}{(H8686)} mine integrity{H8538} from me.

My righteousness{H6666} I hold{H2388}{(H8689)} fast, and will not let it go{H7503}{(H8686)}: my heart{H3824} shall not reproach{H2778}{(H8799)} me so long as I live{H3117}.

Let mine enemy{H341}{(H8802)} be as the wicked{H7563}, and he that riseth up{H6965}{(H8693)} against me as the unrighteous{H5767}.

For what is the hope{H8615} of the hypocrite{H2611}, though he hath gained{H1214}{(H8799)}, when God{H433} taketh away{H7953}{(H8799)} his soul{H5315}?

Will God{H410} hear{H8085}{(H8799)} his cry{H6818} when trouble{H6869} cometh{H935}{(H8799)} upon him?

Will he delight{H6026}{(H8691)} himself in the Almighty{H7706}? will he always{H6256} call{H7121}{(H8799)} upon God{H433}?

I will teach{H3384}{(H8686)} you by the hand{H3027} of God{H410}: that which is with the Almighty{H7706} will I not conceal{H3582}{(H8762)}.

Behold, all ye yourselves have seen{H2372}{(H8804)} it; why then are ye thus altogether{H1892} vain{H1891}{(H8799)}?

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}{(H8799)} of the Almighty{H7706}.

If his children{H1121} be multiplied{H7235}{(H8799)}, it is for{H3926} the sword{H2719}: and his offspring{H6631} shall not be satisfied{H7646}{(H8799)} with bread{H3899}.

Those that remain{H8300} of him shall be buried{H6912}{(H8735)} in death{H4194}: and his widows{H490} shall not weep{H1058}{(H8799)}.

Though he heap up{H6651}{(H8799)} silver{H3701} as the dust{H6083}, and prepare{H3559}{(H8686)} raiment{H4403} as the clay{H2563};

He may prepare{H3559}{(H8686)} it, but the just{H6662} shall put it on{H3847}{(H8799)}, and the innocent{H5355} shall divide{H2505}{(H8799)} the silver{H3701}.

He buildeth{H1129}{(H8804)} his house{H1004} as a moth{H6211}, and as a booth{H5521} that the keeper{H5341}{(H8802)} maketh{H6213}{(H8804)}.

The rich{H6223} man shall lie down{H7901}{(H8799)}, but he shall not be gathered{H622}{(H8735)}: he openeth{H6491}{(H8804)} his eyes{H5869}, and he is not.

Terrors{H1091} take hold{H5381}{(H8686)} on him as waters{H4325}, a tempest{H5492} stealeth him away{H1589}{(H8804)} in the night{H3915}.

The east{H6921} wind carrieth him away{H5375}{(H8799)}, and he departeth{H3212}{(H8799)}: and as a storm hurleth{H8175}{(H8762)} him out of his place{H4725}.

For God shall cast{H7993}{(H8686)} upon him, and not spare{H2550}{(H8799)}: he would fain{H1272}{(H8800)} flee{H1272}{(H8799)} out of his hand{H3027}.

Men shall clap{H5606}{(H8799)} their hands{H3709} at him, and shall hiss{H8319}{(H8799)} him out of his place{H4725}.
