Job 27

Verses of Job 27 of the NIV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - And Job continued his discourse:
2 - "As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made me taste bitterness of soul,
3 - as long as I have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils,
4 - my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will utter no deceit.
5 - I will never admit you are in the right; till I die, I will not deny my integrity.
6 - I will maintain my righteousness and never let go of it; my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live.
7 - "May my enemies be like the wicked, my adversaries like the unjust!
8 - For what hope has the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
9 - Does God listen to his cry when distress comes upon him?
10 - Will he find delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
11 - "I will teach you about the power of God; the ways of the Almighty I will not conceal.
12 - You have all seen this yourselves. Why then this meaningless talk?
13 - "Here is the fate God allots to the wicked, the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty:
14 - However many his children, their fate is the sword; his offspring will never have enough to eat.
15 - The plague will bury those who survive him, and their widows will not weep for them.
16 - Though he heaps up silver like dust and clothes like piles of clay,
17 - what he lays up the righteous will wear, and the innocent will divide his silver.
18 - The house he builds is like a moth's cocoon, like a hut made by a watchman.
19 - He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.
20 - Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest snatches him away in the night.
21 - The east wind carries him off, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
22 - It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.
23 - It claps its hands in derision and hisses him out of his place.
