¹ And Job again took up his parable, and said,² As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;³ (For my life is yet whole in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;)⁴ Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit.⁵ God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.⁶ My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

⁷ Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.⁸ For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, when God taketh away his soul?⁹ Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him?¹⁰ Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?

¹¹ I will teach you concerning the hand of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.¹² Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye become altogether vain?¹³ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.¹⁴ If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.¹⁵ Those that remain of him shall be buried in death, and his widows shall make no lamentation.¹⁶ Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;¹⁷ He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.¹⁸ He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth which the keeper maketh.¹⁹ He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.²⁰ Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest stealeth him away in the night.²¹ The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; and it sweepeth him out of his place.²² For God shall hurl at him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.²³ Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
