Job Continues: I Will Maintain My Integrity
And Job again took up his discourse, and said:
And Job again took up his discourse, and said:
Job Affirms his Integrity
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
“As God lives, who has taken away my right,
and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,
and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,
As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
as long as my breath is in me,
and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
my lips will not speak falsehood,
and my tongue will not utter deceit.
and my tongue will not utter deceit.
My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
Far be it from me to say that you are right;
till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go;
my heart does not reproach me for any of my days.
my heart does not reproach me for any of my days.
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 let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
The State of the Godless
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
For what is the hope of the godless when God cuts him off,
when God takes away his life?
when God takes away his life?
For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
Will God hear his cry
when distress comes upon him?
when distress comes upon him?
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
Will he take delight in the Almighty?
Will he call upon God at all times?
Will he call upon God at all times?
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
I will teach you concerning the hand of God;
what is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
what is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves;
why then have you become altogether vain?
why then have you become altogether vain?
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 that oppressors receive from the Almighty:
and the heritage that oppressors receive from the Almighty:
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 descendants have not enough bread.
and his descendants have not enough bread.
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
Those who survive him the pestilence buries,
and his widows do not weep.
and his widows do not weep.
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
Though he heap up silver like dust,
and pile up clothing like clay,
and pile up clothing like clay,
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,
and the innocent will divide the silver.
and the innocent will divide the silver.
He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
He builds his house like a moth’s,
like a booth that a watchman makes.
like a booth that a watchman makes.
He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
He goes to bed rich, but will do so no more;
he opens his eyes, and his wealth is gone.
he opens his eyes, and his wealth is gone.
The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
Terrors overtake him like a flood;
in the night a whirlwind carries him off.
in the night a whirlwind carries him off.
Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
The east wind lifts him up and he is gone;
it sweeps him out of his place.
it sweeps him out of his place.
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.
