Job 27:1-23

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>_?

27:9

Will God
<0410>

hear
<08085> (8799)

his cry
<06818>

when trouble
<06869>

cometh
<0935> (8799)

upon him?

27:10

Will he delight
<06026> (8691)

himself in the Almighty
<07706>_?

will he always
<06256>

call
<07121> (8799)

upon God
<0433>_?

27:11

I will teach
<03384> (8686)

you by the hand
<03027>

of God
<0410>_:

[that] which [is] with the Almighty
<07706>

will I not conceal
<03582> (8762)_.

{by...: or, being in the hand, etc}

27:12

Behold, all ye yourselves have seen
<02372> (8804)

[it]; why then are ye thus altogether
<01892>

vain
<01891> (8799)_?

27:13

This [is] the portion
<02506>

of a wicked
<07563>

man
<0120>

with God
<0410>_,

and the heritage
<05159>

of oppressors
<06184>_,

[which] they shall receive
<03947> (8799)

of the Almighty
<07706>_.

27:14

If his children
<01121>

be multiplied
<07235> (8799)_,

[it is] for
<03926>

the sword
<02719>_:

and his offspring
<06631>

shall not be satisfied
<07646> (8799)

with bread
<03899>_.

27:15

Those that remain
<08300>

of him shall be buried
<06912> (8735)

in death
<04194>_:

and his widows
<0490>

shall not weep
<01058> (8799)_.

27:16

Though he heap up
<06651> (8799)

silver
<03701>

as the dust
<06083>_,

and prepare
<03559> (8686)

raiment
<04403>

as the clay
<02563>_;

27:17

He may prepare
<03559> (8686)

[it], but the just
<06662>

shall put [it] on
<03847> (8799)_,

and the innocent
<05355>

shall divide
<02505> (8799)

the silver
<03701>_.

27:18

He buildeth
<01129> (8804)

his house
<01004>

as a moth
<06211>_,

and as a booth
<05521>

[that] the keeper
<05341> (8802)

maketh
<06213> (8804)_.

27:19

The rich
<06223>

man shall lie down
<07901> (8799)_,

but he shall not be gathered
<0622> (8735)_:

he openeth
<06491> (8804)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and he [is] not.

27:20

Terrors
<01091>

take hold
<05381> (8686)

on him as waters
<04325>_,

a tempest
<05492>

stealeth him away
<01589> (8804)

in the night
<03915>_.

27:21

The east
<06921>

wind carrieth him away
<05375> (8799)_,

and he departeth
<03212> (8799)_:

and as a storm hurleth
<08175> (8762)

him out of his place
<04725>_.

27:22

For [God] shall cast
<07993> (8686)

upon him, and not spare
<02550> (8799)_:

he would fain
<01272> (8800)

flee
<01272> (8799)

out of his hand
<03027>_.

{he...: Heb. in fleeing he would flee}

27:23

[Men] shall clap
<05606> (8799)

their hands
<03709>

at him, and shall hiss
<08319> (8799)

him out of his place
<04725>_.
