| 1 | And Job continued his parable and said, |
| 2 | [As] uGod liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul, |
| 3 | All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of +God is in my nostrils, |
| 4 | My lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit! |
| 5 | Be it far from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not remove my blamelessness from me. |
| 6 | My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart reproacheth [me] not one of my days. |
| 7 | Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. |
| 8 | For what is the hope of the ungodly, when [God] cutteth him off, when +God taketh away his soul? |
| 9 | Will uGod hear his cry when distress cometh upon him? |
| 10 | Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call upon +God? |
| 11 | I will teach you concerning the hand of uGod; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal. |
| 12 | Behold, ye yourselves have all seen [it]; and why are ye thus altogether vain? |
| 13 | This is the portion of the wicked man with uGod, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from the Almighty: -- |
| 14 | If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword, and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread; |
| 15 | Those that remain of him shall be buried by death, and his widows shall not weep. |
| 16 | Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay; |
| 17 | He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on; and the innocent shall divide the silver. |
| 18 | He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth that a keeper maketh. |
| 19 | He lieth down rich, but will do so no more; he openeth his eyes, and he is not. |
| 20 | Terrors overtake him like waters; a whirlwind stealeth him away in the night. |
| 21 | The east wind carrieth him away and he is gone; and as a storm it hurleth him out of his place. |
| 22 | And [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. |
