      | ¶ | Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, | |
 | [As] God liveth, [who] hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, [who] hath vexed my soul; | ||
| All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God [is] in my nostrils; | ||
| My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. | ||
| God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. | ||
| My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live. | ||
| Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. | ||
| For what [is] the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? | ||
| Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? | ||
| Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God? | ||
| I will teach you by the hand of God: [that] which [is] with the Almighty will I not conceal. | ||
| Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [it]; why then are ye thus altogether vain? | ||
| ¶ | This [is] the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, [which] they shall receive of the Almighty. | |
| If his children be multiplied, [it is] for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. | ||
| Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep. | ||
| Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; | ||
| He may prepare [it], but the just shall put [it] on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. | ||
| He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth [that] the keeper maketh. | ||
| The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he [is] not. | ||
| Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. | ||
| The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place. | ||
| For [God] shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. | ||
| [Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. |
