And Job again took up his parable, and said,

If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

I will teach you concerning the hand of God; That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: My heart shall not reproach `me' so long as I live.

Will God hear his cry, When trouble cometh upon him?

Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, Neither shall my tongue utter deceit.

Let mine enemy be as the wicked, And let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty:

Will he delight himself in the Almighty, And call upon God at all times?

As God liveth, who hath taken away my right, And the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul:

Far be it from me that I should justify you: Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.

Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; Why then are ye become altogether vain?

For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, When God taketh away his soul?

(For my life is yet whole in me, And the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, And the innocent shall divide the silver.

He buildeth his house as the moth, And as a booth which the keeper maketh.

Terrors overtake him like waters; A tempest stealeth him away in the night.

Those that remain of him shall be buried in death, And his widows shall make no lamentation.

The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; And it sweepeth him out of his place.

Though he heap up silver as the dust, And prepare raiment as the clay;

Men shall clap their hands at him, And shall hiss him out of his place.
