1<\/sup>Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who hath brought my soul to bitterness,<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>As long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>My lips shall not speak iniquity, neither shall my tongue contrive lying.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>God forbid that I should judge you to be just: till I die I will not depart from my innocence.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>My justification, which I have begun to hold, I will not forsake: for my heart doth not reprehend me in all my life.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Let my enemy be as the ungodly, and my adversary as the wicked one.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>For what is the hope of the hypocrite if through covetousness he take by violence, and God deliver not his soul?<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him?<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Or can he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>I will teach you by the hand of God, what the Almighty hath, and I will not conceal it.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>Behold you all know it, and why do you speak vain things without cause?<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they shall receive of the Almighty.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>If his sons be multiplied, they shall be for the sword, and his grandsons shall not be filled with bread.<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>They that shall remain of him, shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>If he shall heap together silver as earth, and prepare raiment as clay,<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with it: and the innocent shall divide the silver.<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a booth.<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes and find nothing.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>Poverty like water shall take hold on him, a tempest shall oppress him in the night.<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>A burning wind shall take him up, and carry him away, and as a whirlwind shall snatch him from his place.<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>And he shall cast upon him, and shall not spare: out of his hand he would willingly flee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 23<\/sup>He shall clasp his hands upon him, and shall hiss at him, beholding his place.<\/span> <\/p>\n
