1Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment;
3All the while my breath is in me,
4My lips shall not speak wickedness,
5God forbid that I should justify you:
6My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go:
7Let mine enemy be as the wicked,
8For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained,
9Will God hear his cry
10Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
11I will teach you by the hand of God:
12Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it;
13This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
14If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword:
15Those that remain of him shall be buried in death:
16Though he heap up silver as the dust,
17He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on,
18He buildeth his house as a moth,
19The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered:
20Terrors take hold on him as waters,
21The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth:
22For God shall cast upon him, and not spare:
23Men shall clap their hands at him,
