Job 27:1-12
-
1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
-
2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
-
3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
-
4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
-
5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
-
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
-
7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
-
8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
-
9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
-
10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
-
11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
-
12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
