ASV_Strong : Job 27
1. And Job[H347] again took[H3254] up his parable[H4912], and said[H559],
2. As God[H410] liveth[H2416], who hath taken away[H5493] my right[H4941], And the Almighty[H7706], who hath vexed[H4843] my soul[H5315]:
3. (For my life[H5397] is yet whole[H5750] in me[H7307], And the spirit of God[H433] is in my nostrils[H639]);
4. Surely my lips[H8193] shall not speak[H1696] unrighteousness[H5766], Neither shall my tongue[H3956] utter[H1897] deceit[H7423].
5. Far be it[H2486] from me that I should justify[H6663] you[H1478]: Till I die I will not put away[H5493] mine integrity from me[H8538].
6. My righteousness[H6666] I hold[H2388] fast[H7503], and will not let it go: My heart[H3824] shall not reproach[H2778] me so long as I live[H3117].
7. Let mine enemy[H341] be as the wicked[H7563], And let him that riseth up[H6965] against me be as the unrighteous[H5767].
8. For what is the hope[H8615] of the godless[H2611], though he get him gain[H1214], When God[H433] taketh away[H7953] his soul[H5315]?
9. Will God[H410] hear[H8085] his cry[H6818], When trouble[H6869] cometh upon him[H935]?
10. Will he delight[H6026] himself in the Almighty[H7706], And call[H7121] upon God[H433] at all times[H6256]?
11. I will teach[H3384] you concerning the hand[H3027] of God[H410]; That which is with the Almighty[H7706] will I not conceal[H3582].
12. Behold[H2372], all ye yourselves have seen it[H1892]; Why then are ye become altogether vain[H1891]?
13. This is the portion[H2506] of a wicked[H7563] man[H120] with God[H410], And the heritage[H5159] of oppressors[H6184], which they receive[H3947] from the Almighty[H7706]:
14. If his children[H1121] be multiplied[H7235], it is for[H3926] the sword[H2719]; And his offspring[H6631] shall not be satisfied[H7646] with bread[H3899].
15. Those that remain[H8300] of him shall be buried[H6912] in death[H4194], And his widows[H490] shall make no lamentation[H1058].
16. Though he heap up[H6651] silver[H3701] as the dust[H6083], And prepare[H3559] raiment[H4403] as the clay[H2563];
17. He may prepare[H3559] it[H6662], but the just shall put it on[H3847], And the innocent[H5355] shall divide[H2505] the silver[H3701].
18. He buildeth[H1129] his house[H1004] as the moth[H6211], And as a booth[H5521] which the keeper[H5341] maketh[H6213].
19. He lieth down[H7901] rich[H6223], but he shall not be gathered[H622] to his fathers[H6491]; He openeth his eyes[H5869], and he is not.
20. Terrors[H1091] overtake[H5381] him like waters[H4325]; A tempest[H5492] stealeth him away[H1589] in the night[H3915].
21. The east[H6921] wind carrieth him away[H5375], and he departeth[H3212]; And it sweepeth[H8175] him out of his place[H4725].
22. For God shall hurl[H7993] at him[H2550], and not spare: He would fain[H1272] flee[H1272] out of his hand[H3027].
23. Men shall clap[H5606] their hands[H3709] at him[H8319], And shall hiss him out of his place[H4725].
