  27:1 ¶
And Job further continued and said in his parable, |
|
27:1 ¶
Moreover°
Job°
continued°°°°
his parable,°
and said,°° |
|
27:2
[As] God lives, who has thus judge me; and the Almighty, who has embittered my soul; |
|
27:2
[As] El°
liveth,°
[who] hath taken away°°
my judgment;°
and Shaddai,°
[who] hath vexed°°
my soul;° |
|
27:3
verily, while my breath is yet in [me], and the breath of God which remains to me is in my nostrils, |
|
27:3
All°
the while°
my breath°
[is] in me, and the spirit°
of Eloah°
[is] in my nostrils;° |
|
27:4
my lips shall not speak evil words, neither shall my soul meditate unrighteous thoughts. |
|
27:4
My lips°
shall not°
speak°°
wickedness,°
nor°
my tongue°
utter°°
deceit.° |
|
27:5
Far be it from me that I should justify you till I die; for I will not let go my innocence, |
|
27:5
God forbid°
that°
I should justify°°
you: till°
I die°°
I will not°
remove°°
mine integrity°
from°
me. |
|
27:6
but keeping fast to [my] righteousness I will by no means let it go: for I am not conscious to myself of having done any thing amiss. |
|
27:6
My righteousness°
I hold°°
fast,°
and will not°
let it go:°°
my heart°
shall not°
reproach°°
[me] so long as I live.°° |
|
27:7
Nay rather, but let mine enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, and they that rise up against me, as the destruction of transgressors. |
|
27:7
Let mine enemy°°
be°
as the wicked,°
and he that riseth up°°
against°
me as the unrighteous.° |
|
27:8
For what is the hope of the ungodly, that he holds to it? will he indeed trust in the Lord [and] be saved? |
|
27:8
For°
what°
[is] the hope°
of the hypocrite,°
though°
he hath gained,°°
when°
Eloah°
taketh away°°
his soul?° |
|
27:9
Will God hear his prayer? or, when distress has come upon him, |
|
27:9
Will El°
hear°°
his cry°
when°
trouble°
cometh°°
upon°
him? |
|
27:10
has he any confidence before him? or will [God] hear him as he calls upon him? |
|
27:10
Will he delight°°
himself°
in°
Shaddai?°
will he always°°
call°°
upon°
Eloah?° |
|
27:11
Yet now I will tell you what is in the hand of the Lord: I will not lie concerning the things which are with the Almighty. |
|
27:11
I will teach°°
you by the hand°
of El:°
[that] which°
[is] with°
Shaddai°
will I not°
conceal.°° |
|
27:12
Behold, ye all know that ye are adding vanity to vanity. |
|
27:12
Behold,°
all°
ye yourselves°
have seen°°
[it]; why°
then are ye thus°
altogether°
vain?°° |
|
27:13
This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of oppressors shall come upon them from the Almighty. |
|
27:13
This°
[is] the portion°
of a wicked°
man°
with°
El,°
and the heritage°
of oppressors,°
[which] they shall receive°°
of Shaddai.°° |
|
27:14
And if their children be many, they shall be for slaughter: and if they grow up, they shall beg. |
|
27:14
If°
his children°
be multiplied,°°
[it is] for°
the sword:°
and his offspring°
shall not°
be satisfied°°
with bread.° |
|
27:15
And they that survive of him shall utterly perish, and no one shall pity their widows. |
|
27:15
Those that remain°
of him shall be buried°°
in death:°
and his widows°
shall not°
weep.°° |
|
27:16
Even if he should gather silver as earth, and prepare gold as clay; |
|
27:16
Though°
he heap up°°
silver°
as the dust,°
and prepare°°
raiment°
as the clay;° |
|
27:17
All these things shall the righteous gain, and the truehearted shall possess his wealth. |
|
27:17
He may prepare°°
[it], but the just°
shall put [it] on,°°
and the innocent°
shall divide°°
the silver.° |
|
27:18
And his house is gone like moths, and like a spider's web. |
|
27:18
He buildeth°°
his house°
as a moth,°
and as a booth°
[that] the keeper°°
maketh.°° |
|
27:19
The rich man shall lie down, and shall not continue: he has opened his eyes, and he is not. |
|
27:19
The rich°
man°
shall lie down,°°
but he shall not°
be gathered:°°
he openeth°°
his eyes,°
and he [is] not.° |
|
27:20
Pains have come upon him as water, and darkness has carried him away by night. |
|
27:20
Terrors°
take hold°°
on him as waters,°
a tempest°
stealeth him away°°
in the night.° |
|
27:21
And a burning wind shall catch him, and he shall depart, and it shall utterly drive him out of his place. |
|
27:21
The east°
wind°
carrieth him away,°°
and he departeth:°°°
and as a storm hurleth°°
him out of his place.°° |
|
27:22
And [God] shall cast [trouble] upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. |
|
27:22
For [Elohim] shall cast°°
upon°
him, and not°
spare:°°
he would fain°°
flee°°
out of his hand.°° |
|
27:23
He shall cause [men] to clap their hands against them, and shall hiss him out of his place. |
|
27:23
[Men] shall clap°°
their hands°
at°
him, and shall hiss°°°
him out of his place.°° |
