Iob 27

¹Moreouer Iob continued his parable, and sayd,

²As God liueth, who hath taken away my iudgment, and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soule;

³All the while my breath is in mee, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

⁴My lips shall not speake wickednesse, nor my tongue vtter deceit.

⁵God forbid that I should iustifie you: till I die, I will not remoue my integritie from me.

⁶My righteousnesse I hold fast, and will not let it goe: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I liue.

⁷Let mine enemie be as the wicked, and he that riseth vp against me, as the vnrighteous.

⁸For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soule?

⁹Will God heare his cry, when trouble commeth vpon him?

¹⁰Will he delight himselfe in the Almightie? will hee alwayes call vpon God?

¹¹I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almightie, will I not conceale.

¹²Behold, all ye your selues haue seene it, why then are yee thus altogether vaine?

¹³This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressours which they shall receiue of the Almightie.

¹⁴If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offpring shall not be satisfied with bread.

¹⁵Those that remaine of him shall bee buried in death: and his widowes shall not weepe.

¹⁶Though he heape vp siluer as the dust, and prepare rayment as the clay:

¹⁷He may prepare it, but the iust shall put it on, and the innocent shall diuide the siluer.

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

¹⁹The rich man shall lie downe, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not:

²⁰Terrours take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.

²¹The East winde carieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storme hurleth him out of his place.

²²For God shall cast vpon him, and not spare: hee would faine flee out of his hand.

²³Men shall clap their handes at him, and shall hisse him out of his place.
