Job 27

About Job Job wrestles with why the righteous suffer, through Job's losses, his friends' arguments and God's answer.

Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,SelectedJob 27:1Ask

As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;SelectedJob 27:2Ask

All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;SelectedJob 27:3Ask

My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.SelectedJob 27:4Ask

God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.SelectedJob 27:5Ask

My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.SelectedJob 27:6Ask

Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.SelectedJob 27:7Ask

For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?SelectedJob 27:8Ask

Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?SelectedJob 27:9Ask

Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?SelectedJob 27:10Ask

I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.SelectedJob 27:11Ask

Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?SelectedJob 27:12Ask

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.SelectedJob 27:13Ask

If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.SelectedJob 27:14Ask

Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.SelectedJob 27:15Ask

Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;SelectedJob 27:16Ask

He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.SelectedJob 27:17Ask

He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.SelectedJob 27:18Ask

The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.SelectedJob 27:19Ask

Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.SelectedJob 27:20Ask

The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.SelectedJob 27:21Ask

For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.SelectedJob 27:22Ask

Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.SelectedJob 27:23Ask
