Job 27

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 And Job further continued and said in his parable,

2 God lives, who has thus judge me; and the Almighty, who has embittered my soul;

3 verily, while my breath is yet in , and the breath of God which remains to me is in my nostrils,

4 my lips shall not speak evil words, neither shall my soul meditate unrighteous thoughts.

5 Far be it from me that I should justify you till I die; for I will not let go my innocence,

6 but keeping fast to righteousness I will by no means let it go: for I am not conscious to myself of having done any thing amiss.

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.

8 For what is the hope of the ungodly, that he holds to it? will he indeed trust in the Lord be saved?

9 Will God hear his prayer? or, when distress has come upon him,

10 has he any confidence before him? or will hear him as he calls upon him?

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.

12 Behold, ye all know that ye are adding vanity to vanity.

13 This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, and the possession of oppressors shall come upon them from the Almighty.

14 And if their children be many, they shall be for slaughter: and if they grow up, they shall beg.

15 And they that survive of him shall utterly perish, and no one shall pity their widows.

16 Even if he should gather silver as earth, and prepare gold as clay;

17 All these things shall the righteous gain, and the truehearted shall possess his wealth.

18 And his house is gone like moths, and like a spider's web.

19 The rich man shall lie down, and shall not continue: he has opened his eyes, and he is not.

20 Pains have come upon him as water, and darkness has carried him away by night.

21 And a burning wind shall catch him, and he shall depart, and it shall utterly drive him out of his place.

22 And shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

23 He shall cause to clap their hands against them, and shall hiss him out of his place.

New International Version NIV

1 And Job continued his discourse:

2 “As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made my life bitter,

3 as long as I have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils,

4 my lips will not say anything wicked, and my tongue will not utter lies.

5 I will never admit you are in the right; till I die, I will not deny my integrity.

6 I will maintain my innocence and never let go of it; my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live.

7 “May my enemy be like the wicked, my adversary like the unjust!

8 For what hope have the godless when they are cut off, when God takes away their life?

9 Does God listen to their cry when distress comes upon them?

10 Will they find delight in the Almighty? Will they call on God at all times?

11 “I will teach you about the power of God; the ways of the Almighty I will not conceal.

12 You have all seen this yourselves. Why then this meaningless talk?

13 “Here is the fate God allots to the wicked, the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty:

14 However many his children, their fate is the sword; his offspring will never have enough to eat.

15 The plague will bury those who survive him, and their widows will not weep for them.

16 Though he heaps up silver like dust and clothes like piles of clay,

17 what he lays up the righteous will wear, and the innocent will divide his silver.

18 The house he builds is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut made by a watchman.

19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.

20 Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest snatches him away in the night.

21 The east wind carries him off, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.

22 It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.

23 It claps its hands in derision and hisses him out of his place.”
