² "As God lives, who has ^(b)taken away my right,
    and the Almighty, who has ^(c)made my soul bitter,
³ as long as my breath is in me,
    and ^(d)the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
⁴ my lips will not speak ^(e)falsehood,
    and my tongue will not utter ^(f)deceit.
⁵ Far be it from me to say that you are right;
    till I die I will not put away my ^(g)integrity from me.
⁶ I ^(h)hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go;
    my heart does not ⁽ⁱ⁾reproach me for any of my days.

⁷ "Let my enemy be as the wicked,
    and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
^8 (j)For what is the hope of the godless ^(k)when God cuts him off,
    when God takes away his life?
^9 (l)Will God hear his cry
    when distress comes upon him?
¹⁰ Will he ^(m)take delight in the Almighty?
    Will he call upon God at all times?
¹¹ I will teach you concerning the hand of God;
    ⁽ⁿ⁾what is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
¹² Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves;
    why then have you become altogether vain?

^13 (o)"This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
    and the heritage that ^(p)oppressors receive from the Almighty:
¹⁴ If his ^(q)children are multiplied, it is for ^(r)the sword,
    and his descendants have not enough bread.
¹⁵ Those who survive him the pestilence buries,
    and his ^(s)widows do not weep.
¹⁶ Though he ^(t)heap up silver like dust,
    and pile up clothing like clay,
¹⁷ he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,
    and ^(u)the innocent will divide the silver.
¹⁸ He builds his ^(v)house like a moth's,
    like ^(w)a booth that ^(x)a watchman makes.
¹⁹ He goes to bed rich, but will ^(y)do so no more;
    he opens his eyes, and ^(z)his wealth is gone.
^20 (aa)Terrors overtake him like ^(ab)a flood;
    in the night a whirlwind ^(ac)carries him off.
^21 (ad)The east wind lifts him up and he is gone;
    it ^(ae)sweeps him out of his place.
²² It^[a] hurls at him ^(af)without pity;
    he flees from its^[b] power in headlong flight.
²³ It ^(ag)claps its hands at him
    and ^(ah)hisses at him from its place.
