Job 27:1-8

27:1

Moreover Job
<0347>

continued
<03254> (8686) <05375> (8800)

his parable
<04912>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

{continued: Heb. added to take up}

27:2

[As] God
<0410>

liveth
<02416>_,

[who] hath taken away
<05493> (8689)

my judgment
<04941>_;

and the Almighty
<07706>_,

[who] hath vexed
<04843> (8689)

my soul
<05315>_;

{vexed...: Heb. made my soul bitter}

27:3

All the while
<05750>

my breath
<05397>

[is] in me, and the spirit
<07307>

of God
<0433>

[is] in my nostrils
<0639>_;

{the spirit...: that is, the breath which God gave him}

27:4

My lips
<08193>

shall not speak
<01696> (8762)

wickedness
<05766>_,

nor my tongue
<03956>

utter
<01897> (8799)

deceit
<07423>_.

27:5

God forbid
<02486>

that I should justify
<06663> (8686)

you: till I die
<01478> (8799)

I will not remove
<05493> (8686)

mine integrity
<08538>

from me.

27:6

My righteousness
<06666>

I hold
<02388> (8689)

fast, and will not let it go
<07503> (8686)_:

my heart
<03824>

shall not reproach
<02778> (8799)

[me] so long as I live
<03117>_.

{so long...: Heb. from my days}

27:7

Let mine enemy
<0341> (8802)

be as the wicked
<07563>_,

and he that riseth up
<06965> (8693)

against me as the unrighteous
<05767>_.

27:8

For what [is] the hope
<08615>

of the hypocrite
<02611>_,

though he hath gained
<01214> (8799)_,

when God
<0433>

taketh away
<07953> (8799)

his soul
<05315>_?
