Job 27

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:

2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who hath brought my soul to bitterness,

3 As long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,

4 My lips shall not speak iniquity, neither shall my tongue contrive lying.

5 God forbid that I should judge you to be just: till I die I will not depart from my innocence.

6 My justification, which I have begun to hold, I will not forsake: for my heart doth not reprehend me in all my life.

7 Let my enemy be as the ungodly, and my adversary as the wicked one.

8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite if through covetousness he take by violence, and God deliver not his soul?

9 Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him?

10 Or can he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?

11 I will teach you by the hand of God, what the Almighty hath, and I will not conceal it.

12 Behold you all know it, and why do you speak vain things without cause?

13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

14 If his sons be multiplied, they shall be for the sword, and his grandsons shall not be filled with bread.

15 They that shall remain of him, shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep.

16 If he shall heap together silver as earth, and prepare raiment as clay,

17 He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with it: and the innocent shall divide the silver.

18 He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a booth.

19 The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes and find nothing.

20 Poverty like water shall take hold on him, a tempest shall oppress him in the night:

21 A burning wind shall take him up, and carry him away, and as a whirlwind shall snatch him from his place.

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

23 He shall clasp his hands upon him, and shall hiss at him, beholding his place.

New Living Translation NLT

1 Job continued speaking:

2 “I vow by the living God, who has taken away my rights, by the Almighty who has embittered my soul—

3 As long as I live, while I have breath from God,

4 my lips will speak no evil, and my tongue will speak no lies.

5 I will never concede that you are right; I will defend my integrity until I die.

6 I will maintain my innocence without wavering. My conscience is clear for as long as I live.

7 “May my enemy be punished like the wicked, my adversary like those who do evil.

8 For what hope do the godless have when God cuts them off and takes away their life?

9 Will God listen to their cry when trouble comes upon them?

10 Can they take delight in the Almighty? Can they call to God at any time?

11 I will teach you about God’s power. I will not conceal anything concerning the Almighty.

12 But you have seen all this, yet you say all these useless things to me.

13 “This is what the wicked will receive from God; this is their inheritance from the Almighty.

14 They may have many children, but the children will die in war or starve to death.

15 Those who survive will die of a plague, and not even their widows will mourn them.

16 “Evil people may have piles of money and may store away mounds of clothing.

17 But the righteous will wear that clothing, and the innocent will divide that money.

18 The wicked build houses as fragile as a spider’s web, as flimsy as a shelter made of branches.

19 The wicked go to bed rich but wake to find that all their wealth is gone.

20 Terror overwhelms them like a flood, and they are blown away in the storms of the night.

21 The east wind carries them away, and they are gone. It sweeps them away.

22 It whirls down on them without mercy. They struggle to flee from its power.

23 But everyone jeers at them and mocks them.
