Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said:
Job Affirms his Integrity
And Job continued his parable and said,
And Job continued his parable and said,
“As God lives, who has taken away my justice,
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 right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul,
As long as my breath is in me,
And the breath of God in my nostrils,
And the breath of God 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 wickedness,
Nor my tongue utter deceit.
Nor my tongue utter deceit.
My lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit!
Far be it from me
That I should say you are right;
Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
That I should say you are right;
Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
Be it far from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not remove my blamelessness from me.

“May my enemy be like the wicked,
And he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.
And he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.

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 hypocrite,
Though he may gain much,
If God takes away his life?
Though he may gain much,
If God takes away his life?
For what is the hope of the ungodly, when [God] cutteth him off, when +God taketh away his soul?
Will God hear his cry
When trouble comes upon him?
When trouble comes upon him?
Will God hear his cry when distress cometh upon him?
Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
Will he always call on God?
Will he always call on God?
Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call upon +God?
I will teach you concerning the hand of God; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
Surely all of you have seen it;
Why then do you behave with complete nonsense?
Why then do you behave with complete nonsense?
Behold, ye yourselves have all seen [it]; and why are ye thus altogether vain?
“This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
And the heritage of oppressors, received from the Almighty:
And the heritage of oppressors, received from the Almighty:
This is the portion of the wicked man with God, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from the Almighty: --
If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword;
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
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 by death, and his widows shall not weep.
Though he heaps up silver like dust,
And piles up clothing like clay —
And piles up clothing like clay —
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
He may pile it up, but the just 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 buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth that a keeper maketh.
He lieth down rich, but will do so no more; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
Terrors overtake him like a flood;
A tempest steals him away in the night.
A tempest steals him away in the night.
Terrors overtake him like waters; a whirlwind stealeth him away in the night.
The east wind carries him away, 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 is gone; and as a storm it hurleth him out of his place.
And [God] shall cast upon him and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
