1Moreover Job continued on with his discourse, and said: 2As the Mighty God lives, who has taken away my justice, and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter, 3as long as my breath is in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils, 4my lips will not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. 5Far be it from me that I should say you are right. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me. 6I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go; my heart does not reproach any of my days. 7Let my enemy be like the wicked, and he who rises up against me like the unrighteous. 8For what is the hope of the hypocrite when he is cut off, when God draws out his soul? 9Will the Mighty God hear his cry when distress comes upon him? 10Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he always call upon God? 11I will teach you about the hand of the Mighty God; that which is with the Almighty I will not hide. 12Behold, all of you have seen it. Why then are you vain like a vapor? 13This is the portion of a wicked man with the Mighty God, and the heritage of the ruthless, received from the Almighty: 14If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. 15Those who survive him shall be buried in death, and their widows shall not weep, 16though he heaps up silver like dust, and provides clothing like clay; 17he may provide it, but the just shall wear it, and the innocent shall divide up the silver. 18He builds his house like a moth, like a booth which a watchman makes. 19The rich man shall lie down, but not be gathered up; he has opened his eyes, and is not. 20Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest steals him away in the night. 21The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it whirls him out of his place. 22It casts him out without pity; he hastens to flee from its hand. 23Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
