Job 27

27
1Moreover Iyov [hated] continued his parable, and said,
2 [As] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] lives, [who] has taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, [who] has vexed my soul;
3All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] in my nostrils;
4My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
5God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove my integrity from me.
6My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach (disgrace; shame) [me] so long as I live.
7Let my enemy be as the wicked, and he that rises up against me as the unrighteous.
8For what [is] the hope of the hypocrite, though he has gained, when God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] takes away his soul?
9Will God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] hear his cry when trouble comes upon him?
10Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]?
11I will teach you by the hand of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: [that] which [is] with the Almighty will I not conceal.
12Behold, all you2f yourselves have seen [it]; why then are you2f thus altogether vain?
13This [is] the portion of a wicked man with God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], 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 clothing as the clay;
17He may prepare [it], but the just shall put [it] on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18He builds his house as a moth, and as a booth [that] the keeper makes.
19The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he opens his eyes, and he [is] not.
20Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest steals him away in the night.
21The east wind carries him away, and he departs: and as a storm hurls him out of his place.
22For [God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]] shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain (earnestly want to or long to; gladly) flee out of his hand.
23 [Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
