1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)
Job 27
1 Job protesteth his sincerety. 8 The hypocrite is without hope. 11 The blessings which the wicked have are turned into curses.

27:1 ¶
And Job continued his parable and said,

27:2
[As] *God liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul,

27:3
All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of +God is in my nostrils,

27:4
My lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit!

27:5
Be it far from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not remove my blamelessness from me.

27:6
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart reproacheth [me] not one of my days.

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, when [God] cutteth him off, when +God taketh away his soul?

27:9
Will *God hear his cry when distress cometh upon him?

27:10
Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call upon +God?

27:11
I will teach you concerning the hand of *God; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

27:12
Behold, ye yourselves have all seen [it]; and why are ye thus altogether vain?

27:13
This is the portion of the wicked man with *God, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from the Almighty:

27:14
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword, and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread;

27:15
Those that remain of him shall be buried by death, and his widows shall not weep.

27:16
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;

27:17
He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on; and the innocent shall divide the silver.

27:18
He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth that a keeper maketh.

27:19
He lieth down rich, but will do so no more; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.

27:20
Terrors overtake him like waters; a whirlwind stealeth him away in the night.

27:21
The east wind carrieth him away and he is gone; and as a storm it hurleth him out of his place.

27:22
And [God] shall cast upon him and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

27:23
[Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
