King James Bible |
Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 27:1 | Moreover Job |
And Job addeth to lift up his simile, and saith: -- |
| 27:2 | As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath |
God liveth! He turned aside my judgment, And the Mighty -- He made my soul bitter. |
| 27:3 | All the while my breath is in me, and |
For all the while my breath `is' in me, And the spirit of God in my nostrils. |
| 27:4 | My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. | My lips do not speak perverseness, And my tongue doth not utter deceit. |
| 27:5 | God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. | Pollution to me -- if I justify you, Till I expire I turn not aside mine integrity from me. |
| 27:6 | My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me |
On my righteousness I have laid hold, And I do not let it go, My heart doth not reproach me while I live. |
| 27:7 | Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. | As the wicked is my enemy, And my withstander as the perverse. |
| 27:8 | For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? | For what `is' the hope of the profane, When He doth cut off? When God doth cast off his soul? |
| 27:9 | Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? | His cry doth God hear, When distress cometh on him? |
| 27:10 | Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God? | On the Mighty doth he delight himself? Call God at all times? |
| 27:11 | I will teach you |
I shew you by the hand of God, That which `is' with the Mighty I hide not. |
| 27:12 | Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain? | Lo, ye -- all of you -- have seen, And why `is' this -- ye are altogether vain? |
| 27:13 | This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty. | This `is' the portion of wicked man with God, And the inheritance of terrible ones From the Mighty they receive. |
| 27:14 | If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. | If his sons multiply -- for them `is' a sword. And his offspring `are' not satisfied `with' bread. |
| 27:15 | Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep. | His remnant in death are buried, And his widows do not weep. |
| 27:16 | Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; | If he heap up as dust silver, And as clay prepare clothing, |
| 27:17 | He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. | He prepareth -- and the righteous putteth `it' on, And the silver the innocent doth apportion. |
| 27:18 | He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh. | He hath built as a moth his house, And as a booth a watchman hath made. |
| 27:19 | The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not. | Rich he lieth down, and he is not gathered, His eyes he hath opened, and he is not. |
| 27:20 | Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. | Overtake him as waters do terrors, By night stolen him away hath a whirlwind. |
| 27:21 | The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place. | Take him up doth an east wind, and he goeth, And it frighteneth him from his place, |
| 27:22 | For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: |
And it casteth at him, and doth not spare, From its hand he diligently fleeth. |
| 27:23 | Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. | It clappeth at him its hands, And it hisseth at him from his place. |
