| # Chapter 27
| Moreover, Job continued his parable, and said,
| As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty who hath afflicted 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.
| Far be it from me that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove my 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 my enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
| 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 are 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 should 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.
