The Book of Job
27. fejezet
1. vers
Job again took up his parable, and said,
2. vers
“As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter
3. vers
(for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
4. vers
surely my lips will not speak unrighteousness, neither will my tongue utter deceit.
5. vers
Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
6. vers
I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.
7. vers
“Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
8. vers
For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
9. vers
Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?
10. vers
Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call on God at all times?
11. vers
I will teach you about the hand of God. I will not conceal that which is with the Almighty.
12. vers
Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?
13. vers
“This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
14. vers
If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring will not be satisfied with bread.
15. vers
Those who remain of him will be buried in death. His widows will make no lamentation.
16. vers
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
17. vers
he may prepare it, but the just will put it on, and the innocent will divide the silver.
18. vers
He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.
19. vers
He lies down rich, but he will not do so again. He opens his eyes, and he is not.
20. vers
Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.
21. vers
The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.
22. vers
For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.
23. vers
Men will clap their hands at him, and will hiss him out of his place.
