Job 27 (WEBP)

[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 w/Strong’s #s

Job 27 (KJVS)

[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.
