Darby - Job - 27

27:1  And Job continued his parable and said,

27:2  [As]God liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul,

27:3  All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit ofGod is in my nostrils,

27:4  My lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit!

27:5  Be it far from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not remove my blamelessness from me.

27:6  My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart reproacheth [me] not one of my days.

27:7  Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.

27:8  For what is the hope of the ungodly, when [God] cutteth him off, whenGod taketh away his soul?

27:9  WillGod hear his cry when distress cometh upon him?

27:10  Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call uponGod?

27:11  I will teach you concerning the hand ofGod; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

27:12  Behold, ye yourselves have all seen [it]; and why are ye thus altogether vain?

27:13  This is the portion of the wicked man withGod, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from the Almighty: —

27:14  If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword, and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread;

27:15  Those that remain of him shall be buried by death, and his widows shall not weep.

27:16  Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;

27:17  He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on; and the innocent shall divide the silver.

27:18  He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth that a keeper maketh.

27:19  He lieth down rich, but will do so no more; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.

27:20  Terrors overtake him like waters; a whirlwind stealeth him away in the night.

27:21  The east wind carrieth him away and he is gone; and as a storm it hurleth him out of his place.

27:22  And [God] shall cast upon him and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

27:23  [Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
