Iyov 27
27
1Moreover Iyov continued his mashal, and said,
2As El liveth, Who hath taken away my mishpat, and Shaddai, Who hath saddened my nefesh;
3All the while my neshamah is in me, and the ruach of Eloah is in my nostrils,
4My lips shall not speak falsehood, nor my leshon utter deceit.
5Far be it from me I should justify you; till I die I will not remove mine tom (integrity) from me.
6My tzedakah I hold fast, and will not let it go; my lev shall not reproach for any of my days.
7Let mine enemy be as the rasha (evildoer), and he that riseth up against me as unrighteous.
8For what is the tikveh of the chanef, when He cutteth off, when Eloah taketh away, his nefesh?
9Will El hear his cry when tzarah cometh upon him?
10Will he delight himself in Shaddai? Will he always call upon Eloah?
11I will teach you concerning the yad El; that which is with Shaddai will I not conceal.
12Hen (behold), all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
13This is the chelek (lot) of the adam rasha with El and the nachalah of oppressors, which they shall receive from Shaddai.
14If his banim be multiplied, it is for the cherev, and his offspring shall not have lechem enough.
15Those that survive him shall be buried in mavet, and his almanot shall not weep.
16Though he heap up kesef as the aphar, and pile up raiment as the clay,
17He may prepare it, but the tzaddik shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the kesef.
18He buildeth his bais as a moth, and as a sukkah that the watchman maketh.
19The oisher (rich man) shall lie down, but he shall do so no more; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
20Terrors take hold on him as a flood, a tempest stealeth him away in the lailah.
21The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth as a storm hurleth him forth from his makom.
22For it will hurl against him, without sparing; he desperately flees from its yad.
23Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him away from his makom.

Job 27
27
Job Describes the Portion of the Wicked
1Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment;
and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
3all the while my breath is in me,
and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
4my lips shall not speak wickedness,
nor my tongue utter deceit.
5God forbid that I should justify you:
till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
6My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go:
my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
7Let mine enemy be as the wicked,
and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
8For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained,
when God taketh away his soul?
9Will God hear his cry
when trouble cometh upon him?
10Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
Will he always call upon God?
11I will teach you by the hand of God:
that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
12Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it;
why then are ye thus altogether vain?
13This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
14If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword:
and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15Those that remain of him shall be buried in death:
and his widows shall not weep.
16Though he heap up silver as the dust,
and prepare raiment as the clay;
17he may prepare it, but the just shall put it on,
and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18He buildeth his house as a moth,
and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
19The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered:
he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
20Terrors take hold on him as waters,
a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth:
and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
22For God shall cast upon 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.
