Chapter 27
Job KJVA 27:1  Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
Job KJVA 27:2  As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
Job KJVA 27:3  All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
Job KJVA 27:4  My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
Job KJVA 27:5  God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
Job KJVA 27:6  My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
Job KJVA 27:7  Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
Job KJVA 27:8  For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
Job KJVA 27:9  Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
Job KJVA 27:10  Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
Job KJVA 27:11  I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
Job KJVA 27:12  Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
Job KJVA 27:13  This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
Job KJVA 27:14  If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
Job KJVA 27:15  Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
Job KJVA 27:16  Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
Job KJVA 27:17  He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
Job KJVA 27:18  He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
Job KJVA 27:19  The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
Job KJVA 27:20  Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
Job KJVA 27:21  The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
Job KJVA 27:22  For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
Job KJVA 27:23  Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
