LEB JOB Chapter 27

Job Continues His Final Speech

27 Then[fn] Job again took up his discourse and said,

• 2 [fn] he has removed my justice, and Shaddai has made my inner self[fn] bitter.
• 3 [fn] my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nose,
• 4  and my tongue surely will not utter deceit.
• 5 [fn] are right[fn] until I pass away, I will not put away from me my blamelessness.
• 6  my heart will not blame any of my days.
• 7 the wicked and my opponent like the unrighteous,
• 8 is the hope of the godless when he cuts them off, when God takes away his life?
• 9  when distress comes upon him?
• 10  Will he call upon God at all times?
• 11 [fn] about[fn] God’s hand; I will not conceal that which is with Shaddai.
• 12  and[fn] [fn]
• 13 is the portion of the wicked human being with God, and they receive from Shaddai the inheritance of the ruthless.
• 14 it is for the sword, and his offspring[fn]
• 15 [fn] survivors are buried through[fn] the plague, and their[fn] widows do not weep.
• 16  and fashions clothing like the clay,
• 17 it ready, and the righteous will wear it, and the innocent will divide the silver.
• 18  and like a booth that a watchman has made.
• 19 with wealth, but[fn] [fn] he opens his eyes, and[fn]
• 20  a storm wind carries him off in the night.
• 21 The east wind lifts him up, and he is gone, and it sweeps him away from his place.
• 22  he will quickly flee from its power.
• 23  and it hisses at him from its place.
