² As God lives, who has deprived me of justice,^(C1)
and the Almighty who has made me bitter,^(C2)3 as long as my breath is still in me
and the breath from God remains in my nostrils,^(C1)4 my lips will not speak unjustly,
and my tongue will not utter deceit.⁵ I will never affirm that you are right.
I will maintain my integrity^(F1)(C1) until I die.⁶ I will cling to my righteousness and never let it go.
My conscience^(C1) will not accuse me as long as I live!⁷ May my enemy be like the wicked
and my opponent like the unjust.⁸ For what hope does the godless person^(C1) have when he is cut off,
when God takes away his life?^(C2)9 Will God hear his cry
when distress comes on him?¹⁰ Will he delight^(C1) in the Almighty?
Will he call on God at all times?¹¹ I will teach you about God’s power.
I will not conceal what the Almighty has planned.^(F1)12 All of you have seen this for yourselves,
why do you keep up this empty talk?^(C1)13 This is a wicked man’s lot^(C1) from God,
the inheritance the ruthless receive from the Almighty.¹⁴ Even if his children increase, they are destined for the sword;
his descendants will never have enough food.¹⁵ Those who survive him will be buried by the plague,
yet their widows will not weep for them.^(C1)16 Though he piles up silver like dust
and heaps up fine clothing like clay—¹⁷ he may heap it up, but the righteous will wear it,
and the innocent will divide up his silver.^(C1)18 The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon
or a shelter set up by a watchman.^(C1)19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more;
when he opens his eyes, it is gone.²⁰ Terrors overtake him like a flood;^(C1)
a storm^(C2) wind sweeps him away at night.²¹ An east wind picks him up, and he is gone;
it carries him away from his place.²² It blasts at him without mercy,
while he flees desperately from its force.²³ It claps^(C1) its hands at him
and scoffs at him from its place.
