Moreover Job
continued
his parable,
and said,
As God
liveth,
who hath taken away
my judgment;
and the Almighty,
who hath vexed
my soul;
All the while
my breath
is in me, and the spirit
of God
is in my nostrils;
My lips
shall not speak
wickedness,
nor my tongue
utter
deceit.
God forbid
that I should justify
you: till I die
I will not remove
mine integrity
from me.
My righteousness
I hold
fast, and will not let it go:
my heart
shall not reproach
me so long as I live.
Let mine enemy
be as the wicked,
and he that riseth up
against me as the unrighteous.
acting contrary to law

For what is the hope
of the hypocrite,
though he hath gained,
when God
taketh away
his soul?
Will God
hear
his cry
when trouble
cometh
upon him?
Will he delight
himself in the Almighty?
will he always
call
upon God?
I will teach
you by the hand
of God:
that which is with the Almighty
will I not conceal.
Behold, all ye yourselves have seen
it; why then are ye thus altogether
vain?
This is the portion
of a wicked
man
with God,
and the heritage
of oppressors,
which they shall receive
of the Almighty.
If his children
be multiplied,
it is for
the sword:
and his offspring
shall not be satisfied
with bread.
Those that remain
of him shall be buried
in death:
and his widows
shall not weep.
Though he heap up
silver
as the dust,
and prepare
raiment
as the clay;
He may prepare
it, but the just
shall put it on,
and the innocent
shall divide
the silver.
He buildeth
his house
as a moth,
and as a booth
that the keeper
maketh.
The rich
man shall lie down,
but he shall not be gathered:
he openeth
his eyes,
and he is not.
Terrors
take hold
on him as waters,
a tempest
stealeth him away
in the night.
The east
wind carrieth him away,
and he departeth:
and as a storm hurleth
him out of his place.
For God shall cast
upon him, and not spare:
he would fain
flee
out of his hand.
Men shall clap
their hands
at him, and shall hiss
him out of his place.
