\v 1 Job resumed speaking and he said,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 "As surely as God lives, who has taken away my justice,
|
|
\q the Almighty, who made my life bitter,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 for while my life is yet in me,
|
|
\q and the breath from God is in my nostrils,
|
|
\q this is what I will do.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 My lips will not speak wickedness,
|
|
\q neither will my tongue speak deceit;
|
|
\v 5 I will never admit that you three are right;
|
|
\q until I die I will never deny my integrity.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 I hold fast to my righteousness and will not let it go;
|
|
\q my thoughts will not reproach me so long as I live.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 Let my enemy be like a wicked man;
|
|
\q let him who rises up against me be like an unrighteous man.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 For what is the hope of a godless man when God cuts him off,
|
|
\q when God takes away his life?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 Will God hear his cry
|
|
\q when trouble comes upon him?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty
|
|
\q and call upon God at all times?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 I will teach you concerning the hand of God;
|
|
\q I will not conceal the thoughts of the Almighty.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 See, all of you have seen this yourselves;
|
|
\q why then have you spoken all this nonsense?
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 This is the destiny of a wicked man with God,
|
|
\q the heritage of the oppressor that he receives from the Almighty:
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 If his children multiply, it is for the sword;
|
|
\q his offspring will never have enough food.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 Those who survive him will be buried by plague,
|
|
\q and their widows will make no lament for them.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 Though the wicked man heaps up silver like the dust,
|
|
\q and heaps up clothing like clay,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 he may heap up clothing, but righteous people will put it on,
|
|
\q and innocent people will divide up the silver among themselves.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 He builds his house like a spider,
|
|
\q like a hut that a guard makes.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 He lies down in bed rich, but he will not keep doing so;
|
|
\q he opens his eyes, and everything is gone.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 Terrors overtake him like waters;
|
|
\q a storm takes him away in the night.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 The east wind carries him away, and he leaves;
|
|
\q it sweeps him out of his place.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 It throws itself at him and does not stop;
|
|
\q he tries to flee out of its hand.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 23 It claps its hands at him in mockery;
|
|
\q it hisses him out of his place.
