¹ H347 Moreover Job H3254 continued [H8686]   H5375   [H8800]   H4912 his parable H559 , and said [H8799]  ,

² H410 As God H2416 liveth H5493 , who hath taken away [H8689]   H4941 my judgment H7706 ; and the Almighty H4843 , who hath vexed [H8689]   H5315 my soul;

³ H5750 All the while H5397 my breath H7307 is in me, and the spirit H433 of God H639 is in my nostrils;

⁴ H8193 My lips H1696 shall not speak [H8762]   H5766 wickedness H3956 , nor my tongue H1897 utter [H8799]   H7423 deceit.

⁵ H2486 God forbid H6663 that I should justify [H8686]   H1478 you: till I die [H8799]   H5493 I will not remove [H8686]   H8538 mine integrity from me.

⁶ H6666 My righteousness H2388 I hold [H8689]   H7503 fast, and will not let it go [H8686]   H3824 : my heart H2778 shall not reproach [H8799]   H3117 me so long as I live.

⁷ H341 Let mine enemy [H8802]   H7563 be as the wicked H6965 , and he that riseth up [H8693]   H5767 against me as the unrighteous.

⁸ H8615 For what is the hope H2611 of the hypocrite H1214 , though he hath gained [H8799]   H433 , when God H7953 taketh away [H8799]   H5315 his soul?

⁹ H410 Will God H8085 hear [H8799]   H6818 his cry H6869 when trouble H935 cometh [H8799]   upon him?

¹⁰ H6026 Will he delight [H8691]   H7706 himself in the Almighty H6256 ? will he always H7121 call [H8799]   H433 upon God?

¹¹ H3384 I will teach [H8686]   H3027 you by the hand H410 of God H7706 : that which is with the Almighty H3582 will I not conceal [H8762]  .

¹² H2372 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [H8804]   H1892 it; why then are ye thus altogether H1891 vain [H8799]  ?

¹³ H2506 This is the portion H7563 of a wicked H120 man H410 with God H5159 , and the heritage H6184 of oppressors H3947 , which they shall receive [H8799]   H7706 of the Almighty.

¹⁴ H1121 If his children H7235 be multiplied [H8799]   H3926 , it is for H2719 the sword H6631 : and his offspring H7646 shall not be satisfied [H8799]   H3899 with bread.

¹⁵ H8300 Those that remain H6912 of him shall be buried [H8735]   H4194 in death H490 : and his widows H1058 shall not weep [H8799]  .

¹⁶ H6651 Though he heap up [H8799]   H3701 silver H6083 as the dust H3559 , and prepare [H8686]   H4403 raiment H2563 as the clay;

¹⁷ H3559 He may prepare [H8686]   H6662 it, but the just H3847 shall put it on [H8799]   H5355 , and the innocent H2505 shall divide [H8799]   H3701 the silver.

¹⁸ H1129 He buildeth [H8804]   H1004 his house H6211 as a moth H5521 , and as a booth H5341 that the keeper [H8802]   H6213 maketh [H8804]  .

¹⁹ H6223 The rich H7901 man shall lie down [H8799]   H622 , but he shall not be gathered [H8735]   H6491 : he openeth [H8804]   H5869 his eyes, and he is not.

²⁰ H1091 Terrors H5381 take hold [H8686]   H4325 on him as waters H5492 , a tempest H1589 stealeth him away [H8804]   H3915 in the night.

²¹ H6921 The east H5375 wind carrieth him away [H8799]   H3212 , and he departeth [H8799]   H8175 : and as a storm hurleth [H8762]   H4725 him out of his place.

²² H7993 For God shall cast [H8686]   H2550 upon him, and not spare [H8799]   H1272 : he would fain [H8800]   H1272 flee [H8799]   H3027 out of his hand.

²³ H5606 Men shall clap [H8799]   H3709 their hands H8319 at him, and shall hiss [H8799]   H4725 him out of his place.
