1   Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said,
2   As God lives, who has taken away my right; and the Almighty, who has made bitter 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 my 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 my enemy be as the wicked, and he that rises up against me as the unrighteous.
8   For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he has gained, when God takes away his soul?
9   Will God hear his cry when trouble comes 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 you yourselves have seen it; why then are you thus altogether vain?
13   This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
14   If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword:  and  his  offspring  shall  not  be satisfied with bread.
15   Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
16   Though he heap up silver as the dust, and pile up clothing as the clay;
17   He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18   He builds his house like a moth, and like a booth that the keeper makes.
19   The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he opens his eyes, and he is not.
20   Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest steals him away in the night.
21   The east wind carries him away, and he is gone: and as a storm hurls him out of his place.
22   For  God  shall  cast  upon  him,  and  not spare: he would scarcely flee out of his hand.
23   Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
