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

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

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

Far be it from me that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove my integrity from me.

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

Moreover, Job continued his parable, and said,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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