Job 27:4-14

4 my lips shall not speak wickedness, neither my tongue shall think a leasing (nor shall my tongue tell a lie).
5 Far be it from me, that I deem you just (that I judge you right, or correct); till I fail (life), that is, (for) as long as I live, I shall not go away from mine innocence.
6 I shall not forsake my justifying, which I began to hold (fast to); for mine heart reproveth me not in all my life (for my heart shall not rebuke me in all my life).
7 As my wicked enemy doeth; (and) mine adversary is as (the) wicked.
8 For what is the hope of an hypocrite, if he ravisheth greedily, and God delivereth not his soul? (For what is the hope of a hypocrite, even though he may greedily robbeth, when God taketh away his life?)
9 Whether God shall hear the cry of him, when anguish shall come upon him?
10 either whether he may delight in Almighty God, and inwardly call God in all time? (shall he delight himself in Almighty God, and call on God at all times?)
11 I shall teach you by the hand of God, what things Almighty God hath; and I shall not hide them.
12 Lo! all ye know (them), and what then speak ye vain things without cause? (Lo! ye all know them, so why then do ye speak vain, or empty, things without any reason?)
13 This is the part of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of violent men, or raveners, which they shall take of Almighty God. (This is the portion from God for the wicked, and the inheritance for the violent, or the raveners, which they shall receive from Almighty God.)
14 If his children be multiplied, they shall be killed with (the) sword; and his sons shall not be [ful]filled with bread.
