Editing Job 27

* [[Job 27:1|1]]  Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

* [[Job 27:2|2]] As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;

* [[Job 27:3|3]] All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

* [[Job 27:4|4]] My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.

* [[Job 27:5|5]] God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.

* [[Job 27:6|6]] My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

* [[Job 27:7|7]] Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.

* [[Job 27:8|8]]  For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

* [[Job 27:9|9]]  Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

* [[Job 27:10|10]]  Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?

* [[Job 27:11|11]]  I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

* [[Job 27:12|12]]  Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?

* [[Job 27:13|13]]  This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

* [[Job 27:14|14]]  If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

* [[Job 27:15|15]] Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.

* [[Job 27:16|16]] Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;

* [[Job 27:17|17]] He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

* [[Job 27:18|18]] He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.

* [[Job 27:19|19]] The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.

* [[Job 27:20|20]] Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.

* [[Job 27:21|21]] The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.

* [[Job 27:22|22]]  For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

* [[Job 27:23|23]]  Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
