[1] Job again took up his parable, and said,
[2] “As God lives, who has taken away my right,
the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter
[3] (for the length of my life is still in me,
and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
[4] surely my lips will not speak unrighteousness,
neither will my tongue utter deceit.
[5] Far be it from me that I should justify you.
Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
[6] I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go.
My heart will not reproach me so long as I live. [7] “Let my enemy be as the wicked.
Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous. [8] For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off,
when God takes away his life?
[9] Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?
[10] Will he delight himself in the Almighty,
and call on God at all times?
[11] I will teach you about the hand of God.
I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.
[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,
the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
[14] If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword.
His offspring will not be satisfied with bread.
[15] Those who remain of him will be buried in death.
His widows will make no lamentation.
[16] Though he heap up silver as the dust,
and prepare clothing as the clay;
[17] he may prepare it, but the just will put it on,
and the innocent will divide the silver.
[18] He builds his house as the moth,
as a booth which the watchman makes.
[19] He lies down rich, but he will not do so again.
He opens his eyes, and he is not.
[20] Terrors overtake him like waters.
A storm steals him away in the night.
[21] The east wind carries him away, and he departs.
It sweeps him out of his place.
[22] For it hurls at him, and does not spare,
as he flees away from his hand.
[23] Men will clap their hands at him,
and will hiss him out of his place.
King James Version
[1] Moreover Job H347 continued H3254§ H5375 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 H3605 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 H5493 not H3808 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 H2778 not H3808 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 H5921 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 H5973 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 H7646 not H3808 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 H1058 not H3808 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.
[20] Terrors 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 H5921 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

G94 [5] Μή G3361 μοι G3427 εἴη G1498 δικαίους G1342 ὑμᾶς G5209 ἀποφῆναι, ἕως G2193 ἂν G302 ἀποθάνω· G599 οὐ G3756 γὰρ G1063 ἀπαλλάξω G525 μου G3450 τὴν G3588 ἀκακίαν. [6] Δικαιοσύνῃ G1343 δὲ G1161 προσέχων G4337 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 προῶμαι· οὐ G3756 γὰρ G1063 σύνοιδα G4894 ἐμαυτῷ G1683 ἄτοπα G824 πράξας. G4238 [7] Οὐ G3756 μὴν G3375 δὲ G1161 ἀλλὰ G235 εἴησαν G1498 οἱ G3588 ἐχθροί G2190 μου G3450 ὥσπερ G5618 ἡ G3588 καταστροφὴ G2692 τῶν G3588 ἀσεβῶν, G765 καὶ G2532 οἱ G3588 ἐπ’ G1909 ἐμὲ G1691 ἐπανιστανόμενοι G1881 ὥσπερ G5618 ἡ G3588 ἀπώλεια G684 τῶν G3588 παρανόμων. [8] Καὶ G2532 τίς G5101 γάρ G1063 ἐστιν G2076 ἐλπὶς G1680 ἀσεβεῖ G765 ὅτι G3754 ἐπέχει; G1907 Πεποιθὼς G3982 ἐπὶ G1909 κύριον G2962 ἆρα G687 σωθήσεται; G4982 [9] Ἦ G2229 τὴν G3588 δέησιν G1162 αὐτοῦ G846 εἰσακούσεται G1522 κύριος; G2962 Ἢ G2228 ἐπελθούσης G1904 αὐτῷ G846 ἀνάγκης G318 [10] μὴ G3361 ἔχει G2192 τινὰ G5100 παρρησίαν G3954 ἔναντι G1725 αὐτοῦ; G846 Ἢ G2228 ὡς G5613 ἐπικαλεσαμένου G1941 αὐτοῦ G846 εἰσακούσεται G1522 αὐτοῦ; G846 [11] Ἀλλὰ G235 δὴ G1211 ἀναγγελῶ G312 ὑμῖν G5213 τί G5101 ἐστιν G2076 ἐν G1722 χειρὶ G5495 κυρίου· G2962 ἅ G3739 ἐστιν G2076 παρὰ G3844 παντοκράτορι, G3841 οὐ G3756 ψεύσομαι. G5574 [12] Ἰδοὺ G2400 δὴ G1211 πάντες G3956 οἴδατε G1492 ὅτι G3754 κενὰ G2756 κενοῖς G2756 ἐπιβάλλετε. G1911 [13] Αὕτη G3778 ἡ G3588 μερὶς G3310 ἀνθρώπου G444 ἀσεβοῦς G765 παρὰ G3844 κυρίου, G2962 κτῆμα G2933 δὲ G1161 δυναστῶν G1413 ἐλεύσεται G2064 παρὰ G3844 παντοκράτορος G3841 ἐπ’ G1909 αὐτούς. G846 [14] Ἐὰν G1437 δὲ G1161 πολλοὶ G4183 γένωνται G1096 οἱ G3588 υἱοὶ G5207 αὐτοῦ, G846 εἰς G1519 σφαγὴν G4967 ἔσονται· G2071 ἐὰν G1437 δὲ G1161 καὶ G2532 ἀνδρωθῶσιν, προσαιτήσουσιν· G4319 [15] οἱ G3588 δὲ G1161 περιόντες αὐτοῦ G846 ἐν G1722 θανάτῳ G2288 τελευτήσουσιν, G5053 χήρας G5503 δὲ G1161 αὐτῶν G846 οὐθεὶς G3762 ἐλεήσει.
