OEB JOB Chapter 27

JOB 27 ©

27Then Job answered and said:

2As God Almighty liveth,

Who hath wronged and embittered my soul–

3For within me my life is yet whole,

And the spirit of God in my nostrils–

4I swear that my lips speak no falsehood,

My tongue doth not utter deceit.

5God forbid I shoud grant ye were right;

I will cling to mine innocence till I die.

6I maintain to the end I am guiltless;

Not an hour of my life do I blush for.

Zophar

7Perish my foe like the wicked,

Mine enemy as the unrighteous.

8For what is the hope of the godless,

When God requireth his soul?

9Will God give ear to his cry,

In the day when distress comes upon him?

10Will Almighty be then his delight?

When he calleth, will God be entreated?

11I will teach you how God wields His arm,

And not hide the Almighty’s behaviour.verse 12 out of order in original, rework!

12Ye have all with your own eyes seen it:

Wherefore, then, this idle folly?

13The wicked man’s portion from God is this,

And the lot the Almighty bestows on the tyrant:

14If his children grow up, the sword claims them;

His offspring are stinted for bread.

15By death shall his remnant be buried,

Their widows shall make no lament.

16Though silver he heap up like dust,

And prepare (costly) raiment like clay,

17Yet the just shall put on what he stored,

And the silver shall fall to the innocent.

18Like a spider’s the house which he builded,

Like booth which the vine-keeper maketh.

19He lieth down rich, but he wakes not;

He openeth his eyes, and he is not.

20He is caught in a flood of terrors;

In the night he is stolen by a tempest.

21The east wind bears him away;

It sweepeth him out of his place.

22He hurleth at him without mercy;

Fain would he escape from His hand.

23His hands He clappeth at him,

And He hisseth at him from His place.

The Mystery of the Divine Wisdom

(As for Wisdom-whence cometh she? Understanding-where hath she her home?)
