Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:● As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who hath brought my soul to bitterness,● As long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,● My lips shall not speak iniquity, neither shall my tongue contrive lying.● God forbid that I should judge you to be just: till I die I will not depart from my innocence.● My justification, which I have begun to hold, I will not forsake: for my heart doth not reprehend me in all my life.● Let my enemy be as the ungodly, and my adversary as the wicked one.● For what is the hope of the hypocrite if through covetousness he take by violence, and God deliver not his soul?● Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him?● Or can he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?● I will teach you by the hand of God, what the Almighty hath, and I will not conceal it.● Behold you all know it, and why do you speak vain things without cause?● This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they shall receive of the Almighty.● If his sons be multiplied, they shall be for the sword, and his grandsons shall not be filled with bread.● They that shall remain of him, shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep.● If he shall heap together silver as earth, and prepare raiment as clay,● He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with it: and the innocent shall divide the silver.● He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a booth.● The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes and find nothing.● Poverty like water shall take hold on him, a tempest shall oppress him in the night:● A burning wind shall take him up, and carry him away, and as a whirlwind shall snatch him from his place.● And he shall cast upon him, and shall not spare: out of his hand he would willingly flee.● He shall clasp his hands upon him, and shall hiss at him, beholding his place.●
