1And Job again took up his measure, and said: 2As GOD liveth who hath taken away my right, even the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul; 3All the while my inspiration is in me, and the spirit of GOD is in my nostrils, 4Verily my lips shall not speak perversity, nor shall, my tongue, utter deceit. 5Far be it from me! that I should justify, you,Even until I breathe my last, will I not let go mine integrity from me: 6On my righteousness, have I taken fast hold, and will not give it up, My heart shall not reproach any of my days. 7Let mine enemy be a veritably lawless one! And, he that lifteth himself up against me, one veritably perverse! 8For what shall be the hope of the impious, though he graspeth with greed, when GOD shall draw forth his soul? 9His outcry, will GOD hear, when there cometh upon him distress? 10Verily, in the Almighty, he will not find delight, nor call on GOD continually! 11I would teach you, by the hand of GOD, That which is with the Almighty, will I not conceal. 12Lo! ye, have, all of you, seen, Wherefore, then, is it, that ye are utterly without purpose? 13This, is the portion of a lawless man with GOD, That, the heritage of tyrantsfrom the Almighty, he shall receive. 14If his children be multiplied, for them, the sword, and, his offspring, shall not be filled with bread; 15His survivors, by pestilence, shall come to the grave, and, his widows, shall not weep; 16Though he heap up silver like, dust, and, like a pile, he prepare clothing, 17He may prepare, but, the righteous, shall put on, and, the silver, shall the innocent apportion. 18He hath built, like a moth, his house,like a hut, which a watcher hath made. 19The rich man, shall lie down, and not do it again, his eyes, hath he opened, and then is not. 20There shall reach himlike watersterrors, By night, a storm-wind hath stolen him away; 21An east wind shall lift him up, and he shall depart, and it shall sweep him away out of his place; 22And He will cast upon him and not spare, Out of his hand, shall he, swiftly flee; 23He shall clap over him his hands, and shall hiss him forth out of his place.
