027:001

As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul

027:002

All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils

027:003

My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit

027:004

God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me

027:005

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

027:006

Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous

027:007

For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul

027:008

Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him

027:009

Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God

027:010

I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal

027:011

Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain

027:012

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty

027:013

If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread

027:014

Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep

027:015

Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay

027:016

He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver

027:017

He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh

027:018

The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not

027:019

Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night

027:020

The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place

027:021

For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand

027:022

Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place
