Job Affirms His Own Righteousness; The wicked Will be Cursed

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